Guy Fawkes Cocktail: A Penny for the Old Guy

     ​On 5 November every year, the effigy of Guy Fawkes is still burned on bonfires across England in recognition of his part in the failed 'Gunpowder Plot' of 1605.
     Fawkes didn't devise or lead the plot to assassinate James I, so why is he still singled out as one of British history's greatest villains more than 400 years after his death?
     The term, "A penny for the old guy" is spoken on November 5th when one mentions Guy Fawkes as a way to commemorate his brazen act.
