20th Century
A surprisingly elegant mix of gin, lemon, Lillet and a hint of chocolate.
Created by British bartender C. A. Tuck in 1939 as a celebration of the 20th Century Limited railway company that ran from Chicago to New York. The railway operated from 1902 till 1967 and was one of the most famous and luxurious railway lines in the world. Luxurious, art deco, and complete with red carpet that was rolled out at the station for guests to disembark. The cocktail is a quirky mix that somehow is just so right. Gin with white chocolate liqueur, Lillet Blanc and lemon juice.
