History
The Tuxedo cocktail saw its recipe published for the first time in 1882 in a publication by Harry Johnson. It was not revealed until more than fifty years later when it was published by Harry Craddock in "The Savoy Cocktail Book" (1933).
Many make the Tuxedo cocktail with Old Tom Gin to respect the original recipe, for reasons of availability absinthe is unfortunately sometimes replaced.
