Beau Brummel
The namesake for this cocktail was Beau Brummel, a fashion designer from 19th century London. The combination of ingredients is… interesting and this cocktail might not appeal to everyone.
If you’re still keen to give it a go, then the main ingredients are bourbon, Prunella (which is a plum liqueur), orange juice, and sugar.
Margarita
Like many cocktails, there are countless stories about where the margarita came from. One of them involves the daughter of a German ambassador, called Margarita Henkel.
As the story goes, a bartender from Hussong Cantina did some experimenting and ended up creating the famous margarita for the young lady. If the story is true, then the margarita is another drink that is named after a real person.
Of course, other legends for the origins of the margarita don’t involve Margarita Henkel at all. The truth, as you might expect, is lost to the pages of history.
