A stirred drink of rye whiskey and cognac, rounded off with sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur. Absinthe and Angostura add aniseed and spice, and a lemon twist finishes it. Created by Frederic Yarm in Boston in 2019.

Frederic Yarm devised the Adelphi Cocktail in 2019 from Jerry Thomas's Saratoga Cocktail of 1862, which becomes a Vieux Carré when Benedictine and Peychaud's are added. The creator instead tried maraschino and absinthe, as given in the second edition of Thomas's book. It is named after a hotel in Saratoga Springs dating from the years when the "Improved" style took off there.
