The Paradise is an IBA official cocktail, and is classified as a "pre-dinner" drink, an apéritif.
The earliest known in-print recipe for the Paradise Cocktail was written by Harry Craddock. This cocktail is prepared using gin, apricot brandy (apricot liqueur), and orange juice in a 2:1:1 ratio, with a splash of lemon juice.[1]
In popular culture
The Paradise cocktail plays a key part in the 1933 Warner Bros. romantic film One Way Passage as the drink of the two star-crossed lovers played by Kay Francis and William Powell.[2]
