History

David A. Embury's 1948 Fine Art of Mixing Drinks lists a cocktail called a Doctor No.2 (consisting of equal parts lemon juice, Swedish Punch and gin) and states, "This is also known as a Gretta Garbo." Not anymore, it's not! A Gretta Garbo is a very different, rum-based cocktail.

Review

Funky notes from Swedish punch vie with piney gin, freshened by zesty lemon.

Nice cocktail, but I was somehow unhappy with it. Only lemon is dominating although Gin and Punch got upped by Simon.
