📜 History

Named after the Algonquin Hotel in New York City, famous for the Round Table of writers and critics who met there during the 1920s. The cocktail first appeared in print in 1935 and honors the hotel's literary legacy, though the Round Table members likely never drank it there since the hotel was dry throughout their meetings.
