Review:
Originally made with equal parts gin, Bénédictine and maraschino but better balanced with a tad more gin. (If making with equal parts this is a slightly sweet old-school after-dinner cocktail is best served on-the-rocks.)
History:
The Honolulu appears in Hugo R Ensslin's 1917 Recipes for Mixed Drinks but is better known and gained its "No.2" moniker when repeated by Harry Craddock in his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
