Josephine Baker Cocktail

This is John Apodaca from Daddy-O's Martinis. I'm a fan of live music, standards preferably and a performer that's no longer with us but needs mention is Josephine Baker. She was an Black American woman born in Saint Louis MO 1906 - 1975. She was not only a singer and actress but an amazing performer in Harlem and went on tour in Europe and decided to stay in France where she became a French citizen. She was so popular she inspired many artists, authors, clothing designers and even bartenders, that's why there is a cocktail called the Josephine Baker. I found this gem in 1935 reprint of Bar Florida from the club La Floridita in Havana Cuba when where good cocktails where always found.
