History

Adapted from a recipe created by Harry Craddock on 28th February 1922 to celebrate the wedding of H.R.H. Princess Mary, and published in his 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book where he calls for this cocktail to be shaken rather than stirred.

PRINCESS MARY'S PRIDE COCKTAIL.
¼ French Vermouth.
¼ Dubonnet.
½ Calvados.
Shake well and strain into cocktail glass.
Created by Harry Craddock on February 28, 1922, to mark the wedding celebrations of H.R.H. Princess Mary.
Harry Craddock, 1930

Mary, Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood (25 April 1897 – 28 March 1965), was the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary; sister of Kings Edward VIII and George VI: and aunt of the British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II. She married Henry Lascelles, Viscount Lascelles (later the 6th Earl of Harewood), in 1922 and was given the title of Princess Royal in 1932.

I was wondering about an adaptation of this cocktail using whiskey, to honor Princess Margaret, who died on this day in 2002, as she was so fond of whiskey (if the Crown is accurate about this). Thoughts?

Perhaps try with a blended Scotch whisky in place of calvados.
