History:
Harrovians are former pupils of England's Harrow School and include Prime Ministers Stanley Baldwin, Sir Winston Churchill and Sir Robert Peel. The Harrovian is a weekly newspaper published by the school since 1828.
The Harrovian Cocktail appears in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.
Review:
This cocktail screams for richness, hence my choice of old tom gin instead of the dry gin in the 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book recipe.
