History
It transpires (many thanks to Ian Fenton for pointing this out) that what we now know as the "Froupe" cocktail was originally named "Fioupe" and the spelling change most likely came about due to a mistake in its translation from this cocktail's first known appearance in Carlo Beltramo's 1924 Carlo's Cocktail et Boissons Américaines written in French. This explains that the cocktail was named after "Mr. Fioupe", who "was, before the war, a well-known figure all along the Riviera."
Fioupe Cocktail
Carlo Beltramo, Carlo's Cocktail et Boissons Américaines, 1924 (translated from French)
Prepare in a tumbler half-filled with ice cubes: equal parts of Italian vermouth and good old Cognac, 1 teaspoon of Bénédictine. - Stir well and pour into a cocktail glass with a lemon zest.
Mr. Fioupe was, before the war, a well-known figure all along the Riviera.
This cocktail's notoriety is mostly due to its inclusion in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
