Well, I dug out my 1938 copy of Just Cocktails and tried a "Pink Whiskers":

1oz brandy
1oz French vermouth
"juice of 1/4 orange" = ?? so I used 3/4oz
1 dashes creme de menthe
2 dashes grenadine

and there's a reason why this isn't a 'classic' cocktail and you've never heard of it.

Next was "Alexander's Sister", which is an Alexander but with menthe instead of cacao and a few sips was enough mint for me.

Screw it - back to the Berry books!

A tropical Itch later and the rest is histrionics.
