About
The Automobile Cocktail is a refined creation born at the very beginning of the 20th century, at a time when the world was discovering the magic of the gasoline engine and the freedom of driving.
During this period, cars symbolized speed, innovation, and prestige. The Automobile Cocktail takes its name from this craze for modern mechanics and car racing, which captivated the masses. This was the era of automotive pioneers, when owning a car was synonymous with success and daring—values ​​that this cocktail perfectly illustrates.
The recipe is simple: Scotch whisky, gin, red vermouth, and orange bitters. Everything is carefully stirred, like a mechanic adjusting the cogs of an exceptional engine. The result? A balanced, aromatic drink, both strong and refined, evoking the discreet purr of a classic car on a sunny road.
The Automobile Cocktail isn't just a recipe: it's a nod to the history of the automobile and humankind's fascination with speed and design. It embodies the link between the vintage bar and the gentleman's garage: two places where passion, precision, and pleasure reign.
Even today, this cocktail appeals to lovers of classic cars, elegant road trips, and vintage cocktail bars. As you sip it, you can almost hear the roar of a vintage engine and the echo of a time when anything seemed possible.
In short, the Automobile Cocktail is more than just a cocktail: it's a journey through time, an ode to boldness and modernity, at the crossroads between mixology and automotive culture. A forgotten classic that deserves to be rediscovered in contemporary bars.
