No, nothing exciting to celebrate at this moment. In shuffling paper and digging about, who knew there was a cocktail created in Dorothy’s honor? I do not know who cooked this one up, but it originates from an old Bacardi cocktail recipe booklet. I plan on trying it out and will report fully with photos!
Dorothy Gish as Nell Gwynn by James Abbe
Dorothy Gish
1/2 oz. White rum
1/2 oz. Apricot brandy
1 jigger Tangarine or Orange juice
1 jigger Pineapple juice
Ice
Shake vigorously, pour, raise glass and salute Dorothy!
Sounds suitable to me! I like all the light fruits……
Hi there, I came across your site whilst doing some research. In answer to your intrigue, a gentleman named Eddie Woelke created this drink back in the early 1930′s. He also created a drink in honor Mary Pickford.
Hope this sheds some light.

Jamie Jones
