Classic Fitzgerald

This cocktail was created by the legendary bartender Dale DeGroff, back when he was working at the Rainbow Room in New York in the early 1990s. If you are not a gin drinker, the Fitzgerald cocktail is a simple, refreshing gin cocktail that's a great way to ease you into gin drinks.
