History:
This "exhumed classic" was brought to our attention by Jason E. Clapham and originally appeared in Harry Craddock's 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book.
Review:
Sue may not be particularly saucy, but she certainly has spirit – equal parts calvados and cognac with the merest splash of apricot liqueur and a dash of absinthe.
