Brown Derby

This is a better cocktail than the similar but honey-sweetened De Rigueur Cocktail, as unless you have a very full-bodied honey, maple syrup's 'tang' sits...

Perhaps there is an inference in Mr. Difford's review that the "1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book" describes a recipe for a Brown Derby with maple syrup but "when made with honey this is a De Rigueur cocktail"?

Thanks Calvin. I've amended to hopefully make clear that the honey-sweetened De Rigueur is an earlier cocktail.

Thanks for the clarification. Must try it with rum. And as always, supurb site and so informative!
