Review:
Just two ingredients but, as Jason E. Clapham told me, "a drink that is more than the sum of its parts."
History:
Adapted from Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book and kindly brought to my attention by Jason E. Clapham of the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford. The fact that Craddock says it originated at The Savoy, but neither takes credit nor credits a colleague, leads me to suspect this cocktail was created by Ada "Coley" Coleman.

This cocktail is a very great favourite at the Savoy Hotel, London, where it was invented.
