The Paradise cocktail dates back to the early 20th century and first appeared in Harry Craddock’s legendary 1930 "The Savoy Cocktail Book." It became a favorite among those seeking a lighter, fruit-forward alternative to more potent gin mixes. With its simple structure and tropical twist, Paradise quickly earned its name, offering a taste of escapism during any season.
