History

An after-dinner cocktail featuring brandy, orange liqueur, and absinthe's refreshing burst.

The inspiration for this drink comes from a recipe published in Harry Craddock's 1930 volume, The Savoy Cocktail Book. "DREAM COCKTAIL. 1/3 Curaçao. 2/3 Brandy. 1 Dash Absinthe. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass."
