Many thanks for sharing, Ian. I've now referenced the 1924 "Fioupe" above.

Brilliant! Error upon error in the most delightful and cheerfully tipsy manner possible.
“Prepare in the tumbler half-filled with broken ice: Equal parts of Italian vermouth and good old Cognac, 1 teaspoon of Bénédictine. Stir well and pour into the cocktail glass with lemon zest.
Mr. Fioupe was, before the war, a very well-known figure throughout the Riviera.”
So “froupe” exists both as a word and a cocktail due to transliteration errors.
