The 20th Century is a underrated classic cocktail created for the fabulous Art Deco bullet-nosed New York Hudson train engine that ran the Chicago to New York 20th Century Limited line starting in 1938. Lacking a few critical ingredients, I improvised, naming this variant after a Floridian train. Ingredients 1 oz gin 3/4 oz creme
