The Napoleon is a 1930s-era cocktail that combines Gin, Triple Sec, and Campari. It is named for Napoleon Bonaparte, the French military leader and emperor. The drink is typically served in a martini glass and has a strong, bittersweet flavor. The history of the Napoleon is unclear, but it is likely that it was created during the 1930s in France or Italy. The drink became popular in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, when cocktails were fashionable. Today, the Napoleon is not as well known as other classic cocktails, but it remains a favorite of many bartenders and drinkers.
