History:
Adapted from Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book but was first published in Robert Vermeire's 1922 Cocktails How to Mix Them and in other books spelt Hoola-Hoola or even Hula Hula. For the full story see Hula Hula, Houla Houla or Hoola-Hoola.
Review:
Orange generously laced with gin. Our previous version of this recipe called for just 20ml (⅔oz) orange juice, but I've come to realise this cocktail is better with a touch more juice.
