Tuxedo is a classic cocktail first published in Harry Johnson’s 1900 Bartender’s Manual. Also appears in Charles Mahoney 1912 Hoffman House Bartender’s Guide and in Harry MacElhone 1927 Barflies and Cocktails.

Harry Craddock lists Tuxedo Cocktail No.1 and Tuxedo Cocktail No.2 in his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. Tuxedo Cocktail No.1 seems to be his own version calling for equal parts of gin and vermouth, a dash of absinthe, and a lemon peel inside the shaker. While Tuxedo Cocktail No.2 is the classic and popular recipe as in Harry Johnson’s 1900 Bartender’s Manual.
