BEHIND THE DRINK
The story & background
Casino is the name of an established IBA-listed cocktail, not evidence of a Las Vegas birthplace. Its reference recipe calls for Old Tom gin, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice and orange bitters.
Measure the citrus and sweetener before mixing. Fresh juice varies in acidity, so start with the recipe and make small adjustments only after tasting the finished drink.
