Variations/similar cocktails:

Gin & It

History:

Adapted from a recipe in Jacques Straub's 1913 Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks. Supposedly a favourite of hacks who worked for the American newspaper magnate, William Randolph Hearst, and believed to have been created at New York's Waldorf-Astoria. It is nicknamed "The Disgruntled Journalist", perhaps in reference to the Journalist cocktail.
