History

Depending on the sweetness or tartness of the sloe gin, add 5ml (1/6oz) sugar syrup.

Brandon John, a Discerning Drinker, commented on the Charlie Chaplin cocktail page, stating, "Some joints make this with lemon, which I prefer. The lime tends to overpower it a bit." While the traditional Charlie Chaplin, as first specified in Albert Stevens Crockett's 1935 The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book, calls for lime, this adaptation considers the preference for lemon, hence the name, a Right Charlie.
