The cocktail that bridges 19th-century history and 1980s post-punk
In short: Explore the lineage of the Joy Division gin cocktail, a drink that balances sophisticated history with a sharp, modern edge. This guide reveals how a contemporary favorite connects back to the late 1800s.
Attributed to Phil Ward at New York's Death & Co, the Joy Division cocktail features a profile of orange undertones and a distinct absinthe kick. While it feels modern, its flavor profile is a direct descendant of the Martini's origins in the late 1890s.
The drink also carries a cultural lineage; in Toronto, it was known as the Age Of Consent, referencing the musical connection between Joy Division and New Order. To recreate it, stir 30 mL dry vermouth and 15 mL triple sec with ice, then strain into a chilled glass with a citrus twist.
