#OTD #KateMeyrick London's nightclub queen passed away from pneumonia at the age of 57. For 13 years her nightclub empire made headlines in London and Paris. She went to prison several times for flouting licensing laws and came to symbolise the rebellious and decadent spirit of the jazz age.

This drink is called 'The Perroquet'
It is traditionally made with Pastis but this was after #absinthe was banned in France in the 1930's.
#MadameAhier was the manager of a West End nightclub called #ThePerroquet in the mid 1920s at a time when absinthe was still very popular.
