Buck up! Named after Jack Dempsey, the world heavyweight boxing champion from 1919-1924. This cocktail was created by Robert Vermeire in 1921 after Jack Dempsey defeated Georges Carpentier, the favorite. The fight was named the “battle of the century” at the time, so a cocktail in its honor seems fitting! Absinthe, grenadine and gin combine for a delightfully potent sipper.
This is a wonderful riff on a gin martini. If a martini is too dry for your palate, adding a touch of grenadine will bring a tart sweetness to it.
A tart, silken drink from the 1930s.
Get ready for a whopper. At over 100 years old, the Singapore Sling cocktail has stood the test of time. This quencher was created to cool off patrons at the Raffles Hotel in Singapore - where we hear the heat and humidity can get quite oppressive. We Texans may have some familiarity...

This Texas Fizz cocktail is a slightly modified version of the Texas Fizz that was circulating around bars in London and Paris in the early 20th century. Frank Meier at the Hotel Ritz in Paris switched the soda water in the original recipe for Champagne and took the cocktail to a whole new level.
