ABOUT
This classic cocktail is named after the 1923 silent movie directed by John Ford, which originated as a play in 1908. This cocktail first appeared in the 1933 book, “Jack’s Bar Manual 5th Edition,” by Jacob Abraham Grohusko. It reminds me of a Clover Club without the egg white and with lime instead of lemon. Delicious! Cheers y’all!
