    Casino

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe
    Casino cocktail in a Nick and Nora glass

    Lightly sweet and citrusy, the Casino is a lesser known cocktail appears in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.

    The Casino is a part of the Daisy category of cocktails. Daisies contain a spirit, citrus and flavoured sweetener. Other popular drinks part of this category include the Margarita or Sidecar. A Casino is very similar to the more popular, Aviation. Gin-forward with a lemon tartness, the main difference is the lack of creme de violette, which gives the Aviation it's well known purple hue and distinct floral flavour. Instead, the Casino is much more mellow. Both drinks are from the pre-prohibition era - both classy drinks, delicious for sipping.

    Traditionally the Casino uses Old Tom Gin, a sweeter variety of gin. However, in my opinion, it works just as well with a London Dry style gin, so I've used that for my recipe.

    A note: use maraschino liqueur, which has a subtle, nutty almond flavour. Don't use the liquid that maraschino cherries soak in. This will completely change the flavour of your drink.
