Adonis Cocktail Recipe

The Adonis cocktail is a classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s. It was named after the popular Broadway show "The Adonis" and is believed to have been first served at the Hoffman House in New York City.

The Adonis cocktail is a type of vermouth cocktail that is made with equal parts of dry vermouth and sweet vermouth, along with a dash of orange bitters. The mixture is stirred with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass, and garnished with an orange twist.

Some variations of the Adonis cocktail use sherry instead of sweet vermouth, or add a splash of club soda to give it a bit of fizz. Despite its simple recipe, the Adonis cocktail is considered a classic and is a popular choice for those who enjoy a sweet and flavorful aperitif.
