History
The Prince of Wales cocktail first appears in Louis Fouquet's 1896 Bariana: Recueil pratique de toutes boissons américaines et anglaises, the second-oldest known French cocktail book. It also appears in Frank Meier's 1936 The Artistry of Mixing Drinks.
PRINCE OF WALES
Louis Fouquet, Bariana - Recueil pratique de toutes boissons américaines et anglaises, 1896 – translated
Fill the B glass with crushed ice, add 3 dashes of curaçao, 2 dashes noyaux, 1 Madeira glass of dry Madeira, 1 spoon of powdered sugar, finish with Henriot dry champagne and seltzer water, mix well, garnish with 1 lemon slice, straws, top with 2 dashes of cherry brandy and serve without mixing.
A very subtle, winey drink, just delicious, silky and refreshing.
PRINCE OF WALES
Frank Meier, The Artistry of Mixing Drinks, 1936
In shaker: a dash of Angostura Bitters, a teaspoon of Curaçao, one-half glass each of Madeira, and Brandy; shake well, strain into large wineglass, fill with Champagne, add slice of Orange and serve.
Review
More authentic renditions of this classic call for the addition of sugar and aromatic bitters, but these mask subtle vinous madeira and sparkling wine notes.

Genever adds its own complexity to this version of the classic Holland House. The sugar syrup is my 'optional' addition, but for me it's essential.

While gin might lead this Negroni, port wine rounds and sets it apart from less noble Negronis.
