Originating in the early 20th century, the Emerson cocktail was named after Ralph Waldo Emerson, an American essayist and poet known for his transcendentalist philosophy.

- Dash of Angostura bitters

To prepare the drink, simply add all of the ingredients to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir well until chilled then strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with an orange twist or cherry if desired.

The Emerson cocktail is best enjoyed on its own or paired with light appetizers such as cheese and crackers or olives. Its citrusy flavor profile makes it a great choice for warm weather gatherings or brunches.

In conclusion, the Emerson cocktail is a timeless classic that continues to be enjoyed by many today. Its simple yet sophisticated flavor profile makes it a versatile option for any occasion.
