Tuxedo | Cocktail Party

Tuxedo

The Tuxedo is one of our favorite 19th-century sherry cocktails. It’s crisp, bright, fragrant, and eminently sippable.

It was invented at the Waldorf-Astoria bar and named after Tuxedo Park, a late-1800s country club that was the birthplace of the the tuxedo jacket. There are other drinks with the same moniker, but this version came first – at least, according to legendary cocktail historian David Wondrich.

It’s a beautiful drink, clear like a diamond, with just the faintest hint of gold from the sherry. Sherry makes a lovely replacement for folks who aren’t fans of vermouth but still want a classy Martini-styled dry drink. Typically, a Tuxedo is made with fino sherry, but you can use any other dry style you like.

Far superior to any other cocktail app

I have only been using the app for a short time but already I can tell that it is far superior to any other cocktail app I have used until now. The user interface is easy to use and visually appealing, and the search function displays recipes as you type which will make this app easy and fast to use. Highly recommended for use as a bartender or server, or at home making drinks for a party or night in. The developer also promises recipes added regularly and the customer support is second to none.
