History

Lucien Gaudin is a vintage French Cocktail named after an Olympic fencing champion and media entrepreneur from the 1920s. Known for its balanced bitterness and elegance, it combines gin, Cointreau, Campari-style liqueur, and vermouth. This Parisian cocktail won recognition at a bartenders’ championship in 1929 and remains appreciated for its refined, on-the-rocks drinkability and timeless style.
