Japalak Cocktail

1 serving

3 minutes

The cocktail is named after the quick-drying varnish Jap-a-lac. In Russian there is an expression "to varnish" - "Japalak" is quite suitable for this purpose. But it is also good on its own. Its recipe first appeared in the book "Old Waldorf Bar Days" in 1931.
