Happy Hour: White Satin

If your cocktail parties tend to grow from an intimate gathering to a boisterous crowd, it’s essential to have a large-format recipe on hand that can easily serve a group. In 1940, James Beard described the White Satin as “a great Prohibition cocktail” in his first book, Hors d’Oeuvre and Canapés. The crowd-pleasing libation blends gin and grapefruit juice in equal measure, so filling a punchbowl is just as easy as mixing one drink. Get the recipe here.
