Ladies are you ready to Leap?



Ladies get your proposals ready it's nearly time for a Leap year. Ancient folk law acknowledges that for 1 day every 4 years the roles are reversed and women can get down on one knee and pop the question.

The Leap year Cocktail

In need of dutch courage? 


The Leap Year cocktail was invented at The Savoy Hotel, London on February 29th 1928 and legend suggests it has spurred on many marriage proposals. Okay, so we realise that times have changed and traditional gender roles really have become a thing of the past. Although, we do think the upcoming Leap Year can be used as a great excuse for having cocktails at the Savoy.



Harry Craddock's Leap Year Cocktail recipe for The Savoy hotel, London.

2 ounces gin

1/2 ounce Grand Marnier

1/2 ounce sweet vermouth

1/4 ounce fresh lemon juice

Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Serve with a twist of lemon.


Find this fantastic recipe and more in 'The Savoy Cocktail Book'.
