"Several years into the noble experiment (prohibition) Roxana B. Doran wife of James M. Doran, the Commissioner of Industrial Alcohol, earned fleeting fame with the publication of Prohibition Punches (Philadelphia: Dorrance, 1930), the result of a nationwide campaign to popularize fruit drinks. Her own recipe for "1930 Cocktail" was composed of grapefruit juice, pineapple juice, limes and ginger ale, garnished with fruit and a sprig of mint. "Mrs. Doran Introduces New Cocktail at Dinner"- Baltimore Sun [2nd January 1930]. P.2
So that's the background to Harry Craddock's cheekily named "Prohibition Cocktail" in the Savoy Cocktail Book. This one, at least if enjoyed outside the US, was legal, delivered a kick and actually tasted nice. It was everything other prohibition cocktails were not. Even more cheekily, it's almost exactly the same as Craddock's Charlie Lindbergh cocktail: the sole difference is that this recipe calls for a single dash of apricot brandy, not two (the Lindbergh also specifically calls for the proprietary brandy Pricota).
