History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2025 by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails and named after the "rather impressive heiress" in P.G. Wodehouse's A Pelican at Blandings. The original recipe calls for Chairman's Reserve Rum.
Review:
Cherry red, spirit-forward and dangerously quaffable as a late-night tipple.
