History:
In his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book, Harry Craddock includes three cocktails: The Frank Sullivan, Hoop La! and Odd McIntyre, with the same recipe repeated for each. Four years later, in his 1934 book 1700 Cocktails for the Man Behind the Bar, R. de Fleury also uses the same recipe for all three cocktail names. Exactly the name recipe, but under the name "Hey Hey", also appears in 1933 book Hollywood Cocktails and, a year later, in William T. Boothby's World Drinks And How To Mix Them. I've given each of the four a distinctive recipe, this one by yours truly in December 2025.

Amaretto Sour Mocktail
The alcohol-free amaretto contains plenty of protein, so you only need the merest splash of egg white to ensure a thick, foamy head on this tasty sour
Soyer Au Champagne
Ice cream is integrated, rather than dominating this classic dessert-style cocktail. It's a treat, but it's not that sweet
Slynx
This late-night, dry Old Fashioned-style cocktail unusually mixes tequila and applejack to great effect, with pleasing pear fruitiness and a wisp of mezcal
Loop Tonic
A deliciously dry, herbal tequila aperitivo
Sydenham Sunset
A Blood & Sand variation with sloe gin in place of cherry brandy
