Review:
Best described as "A vodka daiquiri with a hint of herbal peppermint courtesy of Galliano."
History:
Created by "C. S. Berner", this cocktail first appears as the winning cocktail at a 1950 bartender's competition in The U.K.B.G. Guide to Drinks 1st edition published 1953 [and not in Ted Saucier's 1951 Bottoms Up! as we were previously led to believe. Having checked, I can't see it in Saucier's book.]
U.K.B.G., U.S.A. (West Coast) Cocktail Competition, 1950
