The Casino Royale belongs to the classic sour family, characterized by the tangy combination of citrus and spirits. While its exact origin is debated, it’s likely a variation of the Gin Daisy, a popular drink in the early 20th century.
The Casino Royale is a dry, complex cocktail with a bright, citrusy character. The gin provides a juniper backbone, while lemon juice adds tartness and freshness. Maraschino liqueur brings a subtle cherry sweetness, and orange bitters add a touch of warm spice. The egg yolk rounds out the texture with a velvety richness. It’s a sophisticated and satisfying cocktail that lingers on the palate.
For a perfect Casino Royale, ensure your gin is cold. Use fresh lemon juice, and don’t over-shake the egg yolk. A light shake will create a velvety texture, while over-shaking can make the drink frothy. A few dashes of orange bitters bring out the citrus notes. Finally, strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe glass. Enjoy the classic!
