History
Created in London during 1922 by Scottish bartender Harry MacElhone to celebrate H.R.H. Princess Mary's marriage to Lord Lascelles. The year after, Harry MacElhone purchased his eponymously named bar in Paris.
The original recipe featured equal parts of all three ingredients and was first published in Robert Vermeire's 1922 Cocktails – How to Mix Them accompanied by a note to its creation, "Harry, of Ciro's Club, introduced this cocktail in honour of Princess Mary's wedding to Lord Lascelles, February, 1922." Harry repeats this recipe and origin a year later in his own book, Harry of Ciro's A B C of Mixing Cocktails.
