History

Gin, apricot, vermouth, and lemon create an old-fashioned yet well-balanced drink.

This cocktail is adapted from a recipe in Harry Craddock's 1930 book, The Savoy Cocktail Book. Titled "LEAVE IT TO ME COCKTAIL. (No.1.)", the original recipe calls for 1 Dash Lemon Juice, ¼ Apricot Brandy, ¼ French Vermouth, 1 Dash Grenadine, and ½ Plymouth Gin. It is to be shaken well and strained into a cocktail glass.
