History:
Adapted from a recipe in Patrick Gavin Duffy's 1956 Official Mixer's Manual. This recipe features Swedish Punch, whereas the recipe in his 1934 first edition calls for Kina Lillet. Duffy's recipe change may have been influenced by Crosby Gaige's 1941 Cocktail Guide and Ladies' Companion, where this Swedish Punch version first appears.
Review:
For an equal-parts recipe, this Corpse Reviver variation is brilliantly balanced and delicious.
