According to other versions, a cocktail was invented in 1921 in the London hotel The Berkeley or in a Paris brothel, where it was used as a prostitute's aperitif [3] [5] .

Another name for the cocktail is “Maiden's Prayer” (English Maiden's Prayer), it is also used in case of replacement of cognac and rum with gin , and lemon juice with orange [3] [6] [7] .
