History:
Created by William Seabrook, famous for his account of eating human flesh, and first published in Sterling North and Carl Kroch's 1935 So Red the Nose or Breath in the Afternoon.
Review:
Seabrook said of this drink, "look like rosy dawn, taste like the milk of Paradise, and make you plenty crazy." He must have been a Pernod lover.
