Many classic cocktails from the English-speaking world remain relevant among mixology enthusiasts. Here's one from the land of vodka, the Tovarich cocktail.
Tovarich appears to be an anglicised term for the Russian tovarisch, tovarish or tovarishch. It means a comrade or a friend or an ally. But, the cocktail is believed to be named after a play by Jacques Deval.
