The Affinity Cocktail first appeared in the New York Sun on October 28, 1907, with the paper declaring "There's another new cocktail on Broadway." The drink was formally published in Jacob Didier's 1909 cocktail guide "The Reminder" and later appeared in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book. This elegant pre-Prohibition creation brings together Scotland and Italy through its harmonious blend of Scotch whisky with both sweet and dry vermouths.
