History

Adapted from a recipe in William James "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Bar Book.

STARBOARD LIGHT
1/2 Dry Gin.
1/4 Lemon Juice.
1/4 Crème de Menthe.
Shake and strain.

Harry Craddock, 1930

Review

Looks the part but is one-dimensional with gin-laced cleansing mint and citrus. Perhaps better with the addition of 2.5ml (½ barspoon) sugar and 3 dashes absinthe.
