Glad you stepped in Simon. I was wondering if there was a "Bradford" different from Johnson's Martini a la Bradford.

Nicely put Simon.

Hey Simon, you’re right that the Old Pal first appears in Harry MacElhone (1927) but it was in a section called Cocktails Around Town written by Arthur Moss, a columnist for the New York Herald in Paris. In it, he credits his “Old Pal” William "Sparrow" Robinson, a sports editor for The New York Herald in Paris as the creator.

I think that you may be looking at the wrong recipe. It is adapted from and shares ingredients with The Harry McElone version
