History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2023 by Itzel Gracian at The Manor Bar, Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel in Montecito, California, USA. Cocktails on the hotel's bar menu are inspired by novels authored by women featuring female protagonists, and this one is named after Ann Howard Creel's The Whiskey Sea, which tells the story of Frieda being swept up by the illegal rum-running business and the handsome Ivy Leaguer.
