📜 History
The Adonis was created in 1884 at the Waldorf Hotel bar in New York to celebrate the Broadway musical of the same name, which became the longest-running show of its era. This refined sherry cocktail represents the sophisticated pre-Prohibition drinking culture and has enjoyed a revival as bartenders rediscover fortified wine cocktails.
