Xantès Cocktail
0
A shaken coupe where raspberry liqueur takes the lead over gin, with triple sec and sweet vermouth adding orange sweetness and depth. Dates from 1929.
The Xantès Cocktail appears in the 1929 book L'Heure du Cocktail, which mixes many overly sweet recipes with ingredients tied to particular regions. One of these is Majestic, a mixture of Cointreau and cognac that has since resurfaced as Cointreau Noir.
