So we just had the annual Polo at Point in Point Clear, Al and The Grand Hotel decided to do a Downton Abbey themed tent.... lot of fun. So naturally we get to create English cocktails that we think may have been popular during the early 1900's.
Naturally we were immediately drawn to gin, and we wanted to keep the drinks period relevant and simple. History shows that there were not many complex cocktails during this time and there was certainly not any flavored vodkas or pre-mixed sweet & sours. History also shows that gin is not nearly as popular as it was in 1919. Ever since the "vodka craze" of the 1950's, gin's popularity has seen a steady decline in popularity, so we knew we had our work cut out for us to try and convince vodka drinkers that they could enjoy gin also.
After doing our research, we narrowed our cocktail list down to 5 cocktails, please click on the name of each to be taken to the recipe.
