Algonquin Cocktail Recipe

The Algonquin cocktail is named after the famous Algonquin Hotel in New York City, where it was created. The hotel was a popular gathering place for writers and intellectuals in the 1920s and 1930s, including Dorothy Parker, who was a regular at the hotel's famous Round Table.
