Review:

Delicate, floral, and aromatic, it has a hint of sweetness but not to offend. Despite the lack of juice in this recipe, don't be tempted to stir rather than shake; this is classically a shaken cocktail, and it's all the better for it. At its best, drink whilst still cloudy from shaking.

Both W.J. Tarling's 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail book and Harry Craddock's 1937 UKBG Approved Cocktails list a similar cocktail, the Bermudiana Rose, which includes lemon juice. Stan Jones, in his 1977 Complete Barguide, lists a variation under the Bermuda Rose that includes "3/4 oz lemon (or lime) juice," which is quite similar to his "Flamingo" recipe.
