History

Adjustments to the proportions have been made, yet it is uncertain if this sour can achieve a rating higher than four out of five.

The recipe is drawn from Ted “Dr. Cocktail” Haigh’s 2009 publication, Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails. Therein, he credits “a crude and otherwise quite forgettable cocktail pamphlet from 1933 titled Cocktail Parade.”
