History
Adapted from the 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book where author Harry Craddock, writes of this drink, "In August, 1924, an American Engineer nearly died of fever in the Philippines, and only the extraordinary devotion of Dr. B– saved his life. As an act of gratitude the Engineer gave Dr. B– the recipe of this cocktail." This recipe first appears in Count Benvenito Martini's 1916 book Cocktail Ology.

Fruity, yet spirit-forward. Looking at the ingredients, this cocktail should be very sweet. It is rich, but it is surprising how the dilution from...
