My interpretation:
1 oz Cointreau
1 oz Bluecoat American Dry Gin
0.5 oz Bacardì Superior White Rum
Shake well (20 seconds), strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This exotically titled recipe appears first in the Savoy Cocktail Book (1935) and from thence is borrowed only for JM1933, the fifth and final edition. In the process, the ratio is changed, since Savoy indicates a 4:1:1 ratio of Gin to Cointreau and Rum (probably conceived as 2/3 Gin and 1/3 Cointreau-Rum mix); Jack’s ratio is 2:2:1, significantly upping the Cointreau quotient and reducing the rum to a background accent by comparison. Using white rum, this drink affords a pearly white quality when shaken, here enhanced by the iridescent effect of Roman glass.
