The Fitzgerald

A simple yet exceptionally smooth cocktail with a bitter citrus flavour. This cocktail was created by Dale DeGroff, otherwise known as King Cocktail, as he was the mixologist at New York's the Rainbow Room during the 80's. It was called the Gin Thing however it was suggested he give it a more classier name and The Fitzgerald was it!
