The Tuxedo is composed of gin, dry Vermouth, orange bitters, maraschino and Absinthe. It’s very similar to the imperial cocktail, which adds maraschino to the combination of gin and dry vermouth. Related to the martini, the Tuxedo has had many variations since its inception in the 1880s. The cocktail is named after the Tuxedo Club in Orange County, New York where it was first mixed.
