Beadlestone Cocktail

I tried to find the origin of the name 'Beadlestone Cocktail' that I found on page 38 of my Bartender's Guide, but had no luck.

The recipe:


1 1/2 oz Dry Vermouth (Noilly Prat)
1 1/2 oz Scotch (Dewar's White Label)

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.

It is a good drink that we shared with neighbors who also enjoyed it. The taste of Scotch was predominant but toned down by the vermouth. The drink is worth having again (it seems as though most of our recent drinks fall into the "worth having again" category!).

Cheers!
