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 MacElhone in 1922[1]. The canonical version is associated with Harry Craddock in 1930. This cocktail is prepared using gin, apricot brandy, and orange juice in a 2:1:1 ratio, with a splash of lemon juice.[2]
