Avocado Cocktail Week Night 5: Loudspeaker (August 5)

The Loudspeaker is another classic cocktail that first appeared in Harry Craddock’s Savoy Cocktail Book from 1930. Craddock trained in the United States at the Hollenden luxury hotel in Cleveland. He returned to his home country of England at the onset of Prohibition where he co-founded the United Kingdom Bartender’s Guild whilst working at the Savoy. He is credited with inventing the dry Martini, as well as classics like the Corpse Reviver Number Two and the White Lady.
