Ingredients: 8 ml Cassis; 60 ml Gin; 15 ml Aromatized Wine; 8 ml Dry Peach Brandy

A stirred, gin-led drink with aromatized wine, a little cassis and dry peach brandy for a dark-berry, stone-fruit edge. From 1933.

Exposicion appeared in Antonio Josa's 1933 book "Cocktelera Universal", where the recipe combined equal parts gin and St. Raphael with half as much peach brandy and crème de cassis, a rich drink typical of its time. A modern adjustment raises the gin and lowers the other ingredients to make it less rich, and by 1947 Pedro Chicote's "Cocktails Mundiales" listed the drink as gin, Grand Marnier and cherry brandy.
