History

Yet again I must thank drinks historian David Wondrich for unearthing this drink and its history. It was created by a bartender named Jim Maloney and first appeared in his 1903 book How to Mix Drinks. Maloney patented the name 'Bell-Ringers' as referring to cocktails served in glasses rinsed with apricot brandy.

Rang my bell. Excellent really. And that with Capel which is kind of budget but a good value and a good mixer.
