The Savoy Cocktail Book touts the Leap Year Cocktail for having "been responsible for more proposals than any other cocktail that has ever been mixed." Invented by the books author, Harry Craddock, for the Leap Year celebrations at the Savoy Hotel, London, on February 29th, 1928, the cocktail is certainly substantial enough for any celebration.

If you’ve decided to forego paying your taxes this year, you might enjoy a Scofflaw cocktail as seen in Robert’s video here: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/362

Nice find Robert! I tried this one last night, and it was delightful.
There’s a LOT of drinks to wade through in the Savoy book, so I appreciate the help. Thanks!
Hmm, only a dash of lemon juice, but you shook the cocktail. Seems like a “stirrer” to me?
Yep… you probably are right.
