Jean Harlow Cocktail
The Jean Harlow cocktail is one of those classic drinks that really doesn't get enough attention nowadays. So named because it was one of the original blonde bombshell's favorites back in the 1930's, it is essentially a sweet rum martini. In terms of flavor, you might think of it as a lighter version of the venerable Martinez cocktail. And just like its namesake, this sensational drink happens to have some serious pizzazz.
