Legend has it that Marlene Dietrich loved to suck on a lemon wedge to tone her cheeks and cheekbones, so her signature drink is garnished with a slice of the fruit. The Marlene Dietrich cocktail is based on a classic Old Fashioned made with whiskey and a few drops of Angostura bitters, enhanced to the actress's taste with a splash of Curaçao orange liqueur. She ordered this version of the drink so often at Hollywood's Hi-Ho Club that the bartender named it after the star. Spend an unforgettable nostalgic evening watching film noir while sipping on this cocktail.
