My first menu item at Russell House Tavern (Cambridge, MA) back in 2013 when it sold for a mere $9 for the 4 oz build! Based off of the Metexa aperitif from the 1937 Café Royal Cocktail Book.
I always associate this variation with Crosby Gaige who published it in his 1941 Cocktail Guide & Lady's Companion before Duffy did.
Cheers! This one was created at Our Fathers gin bar in Allston/Boston, MA inspired by Drink's 1919 Cocktail and Phil Ward's Lipspin.
Nice. I'll have to try the cut fruit instead of the peeler way next time.
