03History
Printed as early as 1905 and a Jazz Age staple — the recipe is the simplest possible: apple brandy plus lime plus grenadine.
It faded with applejack's decline post-Prohibition and returned with Laird's renaissance — the fruit-brandy sour that never needed gin.
Origin contested — the entry keeps verified record and received legend distinct.
