About

The Florida Cocktail is a drink whose exact origins remain unclear, but it is believed to have emerged in the early 20th century, at a time when fruity and sweet cocktails were gaining popularity. The use of citrus in cocktails has always been a key part of American drinking culture, particularly in Florida, a major producer of fruits like oranges and grapefruit.

This cocktail was likely designed to take advantage of the region’s bountiful citrus harvest and provide a refreshing drink suitable for hot summer days. Florida, being the center of fruit production in America, is also known for inspiring many cocktail recipes that celebrate its fresh produce and proximity to the tropics.
