History:
A classic, which originally appeared in David A. Embury's 1948 The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks, kindly brought to my attention and rejuvenated by Jason E. Clapham of St. Edward's MCR at Oxford, England.
Review:
As Jason Clapham, the discerning drinker who brought this cocktail to my attention, says, "it's a Champs-Élysées crossed with Sidecar. What could go wrong?"
