The Fleet Street cocktail is a sophisticated and refreshing drink that combines the flavors of gin, elderflower liqueur, lime juice, and mint. It is named after the famous street in London that is home to many historical landmarks and newspaper offices.
To make the Fleet Street cocktail, you will need a cocktail shaker, a strainer, and a chilled cocktail glass. Begin by muddling a few mint leaves in the bottom of the shaker. Add 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of elderflower liqueur, and 1 ounce of lime juice. Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds to chill and combine the ingredients.
Once the cocktail is well-shaken, strain it into the chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and serve immediately. The Fleet Street cocktail is best enjoyed on a warm summer evening or as a refreshing pick-me-up at any time of year.

If you're a fan of classic cocktails, then the Fleet Street cocktail is one that should definitely be on your radar. This sophisticated drink has a fascinating history and an elegant flavor profile that makes it a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts.
The origins of the Fleet Street cocktail can be traced back to London's historic Fleet Street, which was once home to many of the city's newspapers and publishing houses. The street was known for its bustling atmosphere and lively nightlife, making it the perfect setting for the creation of this iconic drink.
The exact origins of the Fleet Street cocktail are somewhat murky, but it is believed to have been popularized in the early 20th century by bartenders looking to create a unique and flavorful concoction. The drink typically features gin as its base spirit, along with vermouth and orange bitters for added complexity.
One of the key ingredients in the Fleet Street cocktail is vermouth, which adds depth and richness to the drink. Vermouth is a fortified wine that comes in both sweet (red) and dry (white) varieties, each adding their own distinct flavors to cocktails. In the case of the Fleet Street cocktail, dry vermouth is typically used to complement the botanical notes of gin.
To make a classic Fleet Street cocktail, start by filling a mixing glass with ice. Add two ounces of gin and one ounce of dry vermouth, along with a few dashes of orange bitters. Stir well until chilled, then strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with an orange twist or cherry for an extra touch of elegance.
The result is a smooth and sophisticated cocktail that perfectly balances herbal notes from gin with subtle sweetness from vermouth and aromatic hints from orange bitters. It's no wonder that this timeless drink has stood the test of time and remains popular among discerning drinkers today.
Whether you're sipping on one at your favorite speakeasy or mixing up your own version at home, there's no denying that the Fleet Street cocktail is truly something special. So next time you're looking for a classic drink with plenty of character, give this iconic recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
