Had Ensslin a more careful editor, he could have avoided some of these copycat recipes. Or, perhaps he was under contract with El Bart gin. We probably will never know.
In any case, the Leap Frog is the same as the London Buck, save for the fact that Ensslin calls out El Bart gin by name, rather than simply saying dry gin. I am considering the Leap Frog already drunk.
I understand having a preference for one brand of spirit over another. I do not understand giving the same drink different names when using different brands, though. This is particularly true if the name of the liquor isn't in the name of the drink. A confusing practice, but it cuts down on the total number of recipes I have to follow, so I won't judge Hugo too harshly. Maybe El Bart was giving him a little kickback.
