History:
Adapted from Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book and kindly brought to my attention by by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. The fact that Craddock says it originated at The Savoy, but neither takes credit nor credits a colleague, leads me to suspect this cocktail was created by Ada "Coley" Coleman.
Review:
Just two ingredients but, as Jason E. Clapham told me, "a drink that is more than the sum of its parts."
