My interpretation:
1.25 oz Aviation American Gin
0.75 oz Dolin Dry
Fill mixing-glass with ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass, express lemon peel over glass, garnish, serve. — This martini-riff recipe comes from Straub 1913, where Tom or Cordial Gin is specified. The Tom Gin continues in JM 1916, but is reduced in 1933 to simply “gin.” The “good times” aspect is suggested by a heavier (and thus more intoxicating) portion of gin. Evidence is wanting to connect it to the late-19th c. Good Times Club.
