21st Century<\/h2>\n\t\t
<\/div>\n\t\t
The 21st Century Cocktail is a modern twist on the classic 20th Century Cocktail, itself a Prohibition-era drink. This contemporary version retains the elegance and balance of its predecessor while embracing a bolder and more versatile flavour profile. Here's a typical composition:<\/span>
<\/div>The drink is shaken with ice, strained into a chilled coupe glass, and garnished with a twist of lemon or a chocolate shaving.<\/span>
<\/div>Base Spirit<\/strong>: Tequila, usually blanco or reposado, for a fresh, slightly earthy kick.<\/span>
<\/div>Citrus Element<\/strong>: Lemon juice, providing a bright acidity.<\/span>
<\/div>Sweetener<\/strong>: White cr\u00e8me de cacao, adding a subtle chocolate sweetness.<\/span>
<\/div>Bitters<\/strong>: Optional, often chocolate or mole bitters, for depth and complexity.<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t
