Invented at the Holland House in New York City by George Kappeler, this was first published in his 1906 book Modern American Drinks. While also being named after the Holland House building this was also their house cocktail made with Holland style gin, so the name of this drink kinda covers all its bases. This is a wonderful cocktail that kinda has a taste of Martini meets Gin Sour.
