Gin and Sin Cocktail: A Classic Prohibition-Era Drink

The Gin and Sin cocktail is a classic drink that dates back to the Prohibition era in the United States. This cocktail has stood the test of time and remains a popular choice for those looking to enjoy a refreshing and flavorful mixed drink.

Origins of the Gin and Sin Cocktail

The origins of the Gin and Sin cocktail can be traced back to the 1920s when alcohol was prohibited in the United States. During this time, people turned to speakeasies, underground bars where illegal alcohol was served. Bartenders at these establishments had to get creative with their ingredients, leading to the creation of new cocktails like the Gin and Sin.

The exact origin of this cocktail is unclear, but it is believed to have been created by Harry Craddock, an American bartender who worked at The Savoy Hotel in London during Prohibition. The name "Gin and Sin" likely refers to both gin being one of the main ingredients as well as its sinful reputation during Prohibition.
