This drink has a very very very strict recipe and is a pure one off
as one of the vital ingredient is no longer made so unless you see
a bottle of it in a fancy hotel or find one in your grandparents house
behind the couch it is highly unlikely that you will find it made anywhere
as there is no modern equivalent of the drink. The 'missing' ingredient
for want of a better word is 'maraschino'.
So unless you find a highly skilled bartender you may miss out on this
drink. However, you could always ask the barman to make it for you.....
if you spy a bottle of marachino (which comes in a green bottle by the way!)
The strict recipe is:
An ounce and a half of gin,
a quarter ounce of maraschino,
the juice of one lemon, shaken hard and served up.
The result should be softly opaque and inviting, with a couple of chips of ice still spinning on the surface.
