Coronation Number 1

1st #cocktail of #KingCharlesIII #Coronation #Cocktails: Coronation Cocktail No.1

***

Our first cocktail is the Coronation Cocktail No.1. Our recipe was adapted from The Savoy Cocktail Book, 1930, by Harry Craddock, but the cocktail first appeared in Charles S. Mahoney’s 1905 The Hoffman House Bartender’s Guide.

This cocktail was created for, or soon after, the coronation of King Edward VII who became King on 22nd January 1901 after the death of his mother, Queen Victoria.
