Based on a recipe from The Ultimate Book of Cocktails by Stuart Walton. He says, “The particular year in question was 1928, when Harry Craddock, a barman at the Savoy Hotel in London, created this drink for a party held there on February 29.” Well, let’s have a party February 29, 2012! :)
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons gin (2 measures)
2 teaspoons grand marnier (1/2 measure)
2 teaspoons red sweet vermouth (1/2 measure)
1 dash lemon juice, plus lemon rind
Directions:
1. Add gin, Grand Marnier, sweet red vermouth. and lemon juice to ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake well and strain into a cocktail glass.
2. Squeeze a bit of lemon rind over the surface of the drink so that a little of its oil sprays out.
3. Cheers!
