Funny, I was looking at the exact same thing - the Rainbow Cocktail in the 1930 Savoy Cocktail Book – the other night and my (thus far completely unproven) hunch is that you have that backwards: I think the recipe in the Savoy is either Harry Craddock's attempt at reverse engineering Stergios' Rainbow Cocktail or merely putting the idea and layering method into play with whatever he had available so that he could make one of these famous cocktails when asked.
