History

Looks like fruity disco drink fodder but is actually surprisingly dry and strong.

The creator is unknown, but Harry MacElhone credited the Duke of Manchester, William Angus Drogo Montagu (1877-1947), in his 1922 book, Mixing Cocktails. A simple version of the Bloodhound first appeared in William Boothby's 1907 World Drinks. It is also found in Tom Bullock's 1917 The Ideal Bartender and, notably, in Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book. The recipe from The Savoy Cocktail Book is: ¼ French Vermouth, ¼ Italian Vermouth, ½ Dry Gin, 2 or 3 Crushed Strawberries. It is to be shaken well and strained into a cocktail glass.

Created by The Honorable William T. “Cocktail Bill” Boothby
