Origin Story

The Journalist first appeared in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. A complex, layered drink that combines gin with both vermouths, a touch of orange liqueur, and citrus. It fell into obscurity for decades before being rediscovered during the craft cocktail revival of the 2000s.
