Hello Simon, I've been looking at this drink, and the various recipes involved, and plan to make one soon. I just thought I'd mention that I'm fairly certain the "Brown Derby" in which this cocktail became a famous, signature drink (sans egg white), actually was a restaurant in Los Angeles and not a bar in NYC. But, as often is the case, I could be mistaken. Cheers!

Hello Simon, I have used the "contemporary" recipe you noted and we enjoyed it very much. Next time, I'll try your new version! I always appreciate your responsiveness. Cheers!

I've revisited the Honeymoon recipe and also added quotes from vintage books. Thanks again.

Great opalescent appearance. Pleasant orange, lemon, and apple. Good, but not a favorite.

Smooth, sour, apple, lemon - this is a nice combination fir a classic sour with an apple twist.
