Who cares what is in this cocktail? The name sold me when I read it in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book (1930). This is one of many variations.

1 ounce gin

1/2 ounce Cointreau

1/2 ounce Lillet Blonde

3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Dash of Absente

Preparation Shake with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
