The Charlie Chaplin is a pre Prohibition era cocktail named after the silent film star, reflecting a period when fruit liqueurs were widely used. It has remained a quieter classic, often overlooked but worth revisiting.
Made with sloe gin, apricot liqueur, and lime, it delivers both tartness and a soft fruit sweetness. The balance is more nuanced than it first appears.
