Ten Little Sea Lions : cocktail recipe leaflet : Cointreau - the well-balanced liqueur : nd [c.1935?] : centre fold
An exquisite advertising leaflet issued by Cointreau for the British market and noting that it was nor only the "well balanced" liqueur but also "extra dry for England". It contains eight (not ten!) Cointreau Cocktails, the Sidecar, the White Lady, the Silent Third, the Mianbrace, the Fine and Dandy, the Orange Bloom, the Atlantis and the Royal Jubilee; the latter makes me think c.1935 as that was HM King George V's Jubilee year. It also lists various high end London hotels and restaurants that help provide a route for the various sea lions on their night out. These are the Berkeley, The Ritz, Quaglino's, the Cafe de Paris, then a trip to Maidenhead via Bray, Chelsea and the then home.
One the reverse are recipes for Cointreau Soufflé, Pancakes a L'Angevine and Cointreau Cream. To give a healthy option - Cointreau in Fruit Salad and with grapefruit.
Infuriatingly the whole leaflet is uncredited and that is niggling me. The artwork on the cover really reminds me of some artist or designer I have seen - possibly French - especailly the treatment of the three heads appearing behind the curtain on the right.
