Review:
Gin-laced rich berry fruit freshened with lime and mint. Enjoy as a satisfying palate cleanser before or after a meal.

ASTOR PUNCH
J. A. Grohusko, 1933

This cocktail was brought to my attention by Jason E. Clapham of the St. Edward's MCR at Oxford and the recipe above his "enhancement" of the 1933 Astor Punch.
