There are some scattered references to a "Burgundy Cocktail" on Google, but 
they all seem to follow the general formula of 3 parts burgundy, 1 part 
cognac, and 1 part of some sort of cherry brandy -- no gin in sight.  The use 
of cherry brandies suggests that that drink probably dates to the early 20th 
century, but I didn't see any references in my cursory search of the old books 
I can find on the internet.

If the original order was indeed for a Beefeater Burgundy, my best guess would 
be to try something along the lines of a sweet or perfect martini.  I'd 
suspect, though, as you did that the order got garbled somewhere.
