Ιστορία:
A variation of Harry Johnson's East India Cocktail, Johnson could have also created this in the 19th century. However, (as far as I'm aware) a recipe titled East India House doesn't appear in print until Charles H. Baker Jr.'s 1939 The Gentleman's Companion, and this is close to what other vintage books call an East India No. 2 (without the rum in the recipe above).
THE EAST INDIA HOUSE COCKTAIL, being one for any man's book, & garnered in the Royal Bombay Yacht Club, India, 1932, while the-then-fiancée sight-saw across India to Delhi, Agra, Benares & Fatehpur Sikri, & Calcutta.
Charles H. Baker Jr., The Gentleman's Companion, 1939
Take 1½ jiggers of cognac, 1 tsp pineapple syrup – the soda fountain kind – and put in a shaker. Add 2/3 tsp maraschino, 1 tsp orange Curaçao, 3 dashes of orange or Angostura bitters, according to preference. Shake with lots of fine ice and strain into a Manhattan glass, twisting a bit of lime peel on at the last.
Charles H. Baker Jr.'s East India House recipe translates as:
45ml (1½oz) Cognac
5ml (1/6oz) Orange Curaçao
5ml (1/6oz) Pineapple syrup
3.75ml (1/8oz) Maraschino liqueur
3 dashes Orange bitters
