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.

Ingredients

　　1 ounce gin

　　1/2 ounce Cointreau

　　1/2 ounce Lillet Blonde

　　3/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

　　Dash Absinthe

　　Garnish: orange or lemon twist (optional)

　　Combine gin, Cointreau, Lillet, lemon juice, and absinthe in a cocktail shaker. Shake with ice until well chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with twist if desired.
