#177 Cocktail: Leap-Year

    "This cocktail is a classic, was created by Harry Craddock for the Leap Year celebrations at the Savoy Hotel, London, on 29th February 1928. It is said to have been responsible for more proposals than any other cocktail that has ever been mixed". (The savoy Cocktail Book, 1930)
     I don't think that there is more to say about this. We know the history, we know the creator and we know why was it called like this.
     So......have fun drinking it tomorrow.
