1910 Cocktail

The 1910 Cocktail is a sophisticated and richly flavored drink, often associated with pre-Prohibition elegance. While variations exist, the most recognized version is a bourbon-based cocktail with sweet and complex undertones, designed to evoke the early 20th century's opulent charm.

Bourbon or Rye Whiskey: Provides a warm, robust foundation

Sweet Vermouth: Adds herbal sweetness and depth.

Benedictine: A herbal liqueur that imparts a honeyed, spiced complexity.

Bitters: Typically Angostura or orange bitters for balance.

Optional Garnish: Orange twist or cherry.
