The C.F.H. cocktail is a pre-prohibition era cocktail made with gin, swedish punsch, and calvados, accompanied by lemon juice and grenadine (2 parts gin, 1 part punsch, 1 part apple brandy, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part grenadine ratio). It appeared in the early cocktail books _________________

Origin of name
Many pre-prohibition era drink books contained cocktails with initials for their names, but what C.F.H. stands for may be lost to time as no notations have been found in the various bartender guides the drink has appeared in. This is not unusal, in that most cocktailes with initials for names did not include such infomation. Two notable exceptions are the __________ and the __________.

Similar Cocktails
The C.F.H. cocktail appeared in McElhones ABC book, which he may have been fond of because it also included the recipe for the Welcome Stranger Cocktail, which McElhone notes that he "invented by myself". Ingredient wise the drink is exactly the same as the C.F.H. cocktail but with two exceptions. The Welcome Stanger adds orange juice in favor of using slightly less gin (1 part gin, 1 part punsch, 1 part brandy, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part grenadine, 1 part orange juice ratio). It also did not specifiy that the brandy had to be apple brandy.
