Florodora Reconstructed

The cocktail is named for the Floradora Sextet a dance revue show which opened at the Lyric Theater in London on November 11th, 1899. It was made up of six dancers who performed risqué dances popular at the time. It was very popular and ran for 44 ½ shows. The show was then opened in NYC the following season and was even more popular than the London show. At the time the show turned into a bonafide worldwide phenomenon. And later many of the dancers would go on to perform with the Goldwyn Girls and Zigfield Girls.
