Today we’re making the Greta Garbo two ways! The first recipe is the most commonly accepted, and the second is a lesser known cocktail. Both drinks, however, are named after the famous film star from a century ago. Greta Garbo was named one of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute. Seems appropriate there'd at least one cocktail named in her honor. Cheers!
