My interpretation:
1 oz Bluecoat Gin
0.75 oz Cointreau
0.25 oz Myers’s Rum
1 T fresh lemon juice
Shake well (30 seconds), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This recipe, which resembles a sort of Gin-based riff on Between the Sheets (No. 32), appears first in McElhone’s Barflies and Cocktails (1927) where it is attributed to the author’s pupil, Fitz, of Ciro’s bar, London. Apparently Jack thought it worth including; as a gin-based punch-style recipe, it may have been enjoying great enough success overseas.
