Regal Lime Elixir

The Regal Lime Elixir is an early post-Prohibition cocktail from Philadelphia, named after its creator's wife rather than the monarch. This refreshing concoction combines the herbal notes of dry vermouth, the honeyed sweetness of Benedictine, and the tangy zing of freshly squeezed lime juice. It's a delightful blend that pays homage to its historical roots while offering a modern twist for cocktail enthusiasts.
