History:
Created in September 1930 by Tom Buttery at the Berkeley Hotel, London and first published in William J. "Billy" Tarling's 1937 Café Royal Bar Book. There are now many versions of this classic cocktail (David Embury's The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks lists three), the above recipe is my favourite.
Review:
Although it spoils the sunrise effect, this drink is less tart if the syrup lying on the bottom is stirred into the drink (or, better, included when shaking).
