98. Colonial Cocktail

My interpretation:
  1 oz. Hawthorn’s London Dry Gin
  1 oz fresh ruby grapefruit juice
  3 dashes Luxardo maraschino

Fill mixing-glass with broken ice, shake well (20 seconds), and strain into cocktail glass; serve. — JM 1933 preserves the 1:1 ratio of Straub 1913, disregarding the drier 2:1 ratio of the Savoy. JM 1916, which is actually following Straub, has the ratio of 3:3:2 Old Tom gin, grapefruit juice, and maraschino, and further says the drink is for two (hence 2 1/2 jiggers + dilution) and has the alternate name The Miller.
