History

Originally made with Kina Lillet, modern Lillet does not do it justice. A blanc quinquina makes this Martini-style cocktail crisp, delicately herbal, and delicious.

This recipe is adapted from William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book. The creation of this cocktail is credited to "A. J. Smith" in the book. The recipe is listed as: ALBERTO Invented by A. J. Smith 1/3 Booth's Dry Gin. 1/3 Lillet. 1/3 Sherry, Dry. Dash of Cointreau. Mix. Squeeze of Orange Peel on top.
