In short: Discover the history of the Golden Heath Drambuie Cocktail. This video explores a specific drink from one of the most exclusive and rare cocktail books ever published.

The recipe originates from the 'Coronation Edition' of the 1937 Cafe Royal Cocktail Book. The book is famously scarce; while some reports suggest only 25 copies were originally printed, it remains an exceedingly rare find for collectors.
