The Fairbanks Loan No. 2 was created by Philadelphia bartender Brian Kane at The International. I don’t have a date on this one.

It is a very loose interpretation of the classic Fairbanks No. 1 or The Douglas Fairbanks which is a pre-prohibition era cocktail said to have been created at Sloppy Joes Bar in Havana Cuba around the time that all the movie stars frequented the joint. This cocktail is an amazingly delicious daiquiri variation and is quite a departure from the original which used Gin, Apricot, Brandy and Egg White in it’s build. So lets mix ourselves one up and tip our hat to the man who lent his name to this drink the silent film actor who became one of Hollywood’s first A list Stars!
