History

Piney gin and funky Swedish punch notes contend, brightened by sharp lemon.

David A. Embury's 1948 Fine Art of Mixing Drinks lists a cocktail called a Doctor No.2, which combines equal parts lemon juice, Swedish Punch, and gin. Embury states, "This is also known as a Gretta Garbo." This is not the case today, as a Gretta Garbo is a very different, rum-based cocktail.
