X is for Xanthia Cocktail

This cocktail was invented in the early 1920s and became popular after it was featured in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930.  Depending on the source, it was either named after the Greek Goddess Xantha or the Xanthia Moth.  Both names are due to the color of the cocktail.
