Lucien Gaudin cocktail is named after one of the greatest classical fencers of the 20th century, Gaudin was once described as “poetry in motion” for the seemingly effortless control of his blade.

He competed in foil and in épée events at 1920, 1924, and 1928 Olympics and won a gold and silver medal in every event he entered, accumulating four gold and two silver medals total.

Counting the dates, we assume it to be a cocktail created during Prohibition. Lucien Gaudin cocktail recipe published in William T. Boothby’s 1934 World Drinks and How to Mix Them.
