Ethel Duffy Cocktail

I don't know who 'Ethel Duffy' was, but the cocktail named for her is very sweet.

I found one reference to an Ethel Duffy:

In 1912 a series of murders drew public attention to the situation in the South End and led to the closing of most houses of ill repute. During that summer a rare interview with a 14-year old girl appeared on the front page of a Portsmouth newspaper. Ethel Duffy was kidnapped while staying with friends in Dover, apparently drugged and brought to a Portsmouth bordello.

Anyway, the recipe for the drink of the day (from page no. 77 in the Bartender's Guide):

3/4 oz Apricot Brandy (LeRoux)

3/4 oz White Créme de Menthe (LeRoux)

3/4 oz Triple Sec (LeRoux)

Shake with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with a lime twist in an effort to tone down some of the sweet taste. The drink actually tasted good, although quite sweet. Not a winner in my book but for one desiring a sweet cocktail, it would be worth a try.
