History
Adapted from a recipe in Sloppy Joe's Cocktail Manual Season 1931 - 32. Named after the American actor Douglas Elton Fairbanks Sr. (1883 - 1939), famous for his swashbuckling roles in silent films. He married actress and film producer Mary Pickford in 1920 (who also has a cocktail named after her) and the couple soon became "Hollywood royalty" with Fairbanks being called "The King of Hollywood."
