Regal Elixir

The Regal Elixir cocktail is a sophisticated and elegant drink originating from Philadelphia, named after the creator's beloved wife rather than the monarch. This early post-Prohibition libation combines the dryness of vermouth with the richness of Benedictine and the zesty kick of freshly squeezed lime juice. The result is a well-balanced and refined cocktail that embodies regal charm and timeless allure.
