History

Tuxedo No.4 is a less common riff on the classic Tuxedo cocktail, replacing vermouth with dry sherry to create a bone-dry, aromatic drink. Dating back to early 20th-century cocktail manuals, it blends green grape and citrus notes with subtle minerality. This sophisticated and crisp cocktail is ideal for those who appreciate vintage elegance with a modern twist. It finishes cleanly with refined complexity.
