Admiral Cocktail Recipe

The Admiral cocktail is a classic gin-based cocktail that has been around since at least the early 1900s. It's named after the British Navy Admiral Edward Russell, who fought in the Battle of La Hogue in 1692. The cocktail is typically made with gin, lemon juice, orange bitters, and a small amount of sugar. Some variations also call for the addition of curacao or triple sec. The cocktail is typically served in a chilled glass and garnished with a twist of lemon or a slice of orange.
