How to Make a Nixon Cocktail
This drink is another one of Joe Gilmore’s glorious creations at Savoy Hotel’s American Bar. The drink was invented for Richard Nixon, the American President when he visited Britain in 1969. When Joe mixed the drink, he sent it over to Claridge’s where the president was staying. This is where it gets its name from – The Nixon cocktail. Bourbon whiskey, Gin and peach bitter are mixed together to form this stimulating cocktail, fit for a president. Like all Joe Gilmore inventions, it treats you with its taste and has a tempting look when poured into the cocktail glass. So get yourself some bourbon and Gin and lets get the party started with our step by step guide to Nixon cocktail.
