2541	1134	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	93	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the syrup, Curacoa, lemon juice, rum, and shaved ice thoroughly.", "Strain into a large cocktail glass, fill up with seltzer or Apollinaris water, and serve."]	—	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	This keeps the Santa Cruz rum branch explicit inside the daisy family instead of flattening it into a generic rum template.	Sheridan preserves the daisy's shaken base and then lengths it after straining.	—	—
3060	1134	Lowe 1904	Drinks as They Are Mixed	Paul E. Lowe	1904	34	1904 Drinks as they are Mixed by Paul E Lowe.md	["Shake the shaved ice, gum syrup, curacoa, lemon juice, and Santa Cruz rum.", "Strain into a large cocktail glass and fill with seltzer or Apollinaris water.", "Serve."]	—	Shaved ice	Light rum sweetness and orange lead the nose.	This entry matters because it preserves spirit specificity inside the Daisy family instead of flattening all rum service into one generic branch.	The finish is bright, sparkling, and lightly funky.	A region-specific rum Daisy from the mature lengthened sour branch.	—	—	—	—
3245	1134	—	The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide	Charles S. Mahoney	1905	170	1905 The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide by Charles S.

2544	1135	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	94	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the egg, sugar, ice, and sweet cider well and strain.", "Grate nutmeg on top and serve."]	Grated nutmeg.	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	This keeps the temperance-side nogg branch visible inside a mainstream mixed-drinks manual.	Sheridan's note that poor cider makes the drink impossible to make palatable underlines how ingredient quality governs the service.	—	—
3371	1135	—	The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide	Charles S. Mahoney	1905	213	1905 The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide by Charles S. Mahoney.md	["Shake the egg, sugar, ice, and sweet cider well.", "Strain, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve."]	Grated nutmeg	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
4531	1135	—	Bartenders' Guide: How to Mix Drinks	Wehman Bros.	1912	28	1912 Wehman Bros.md	["Shake the egg, sugar, cracked ice, brandy, and cider well and serve."]	—	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
4944	1135	—	Bartenders' Manual	Bartenders Association of America	1913	20	1913 Bartenders' Manual (Bartenders Association of America).md	["Shake well and strain, then grate nutmeg on top."]	Grated nutmeg	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2545	1136	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	94	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the sugar, bitters, lime juice, absinthe, egg, brandy, and ice thoroughly.", "Strain into another glass, fill with seltzer water, and serve."]	—	Small lumps of ice	—	—	—	—	This keeps the Saratoga-named brace-up line visible as a distinct restorative branch rather than a stray nickname.	The drink sits between sour, fizz, and brace-up service, with the charged water added only after straining.	—	—
4931	1136	—	Bartenders' Manual	Bartenders Association of America	1913	16	1913 Bartenders' Manual (Bartenders Association of America).md	["Shake thoroughly, strain into another glass, and fill with seltzer water."]	—	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2546	1137	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	95	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the egg, raspberry syrup, sugar, and milk well.", "Strain into a fizz glass, grate nutmeg on top, and serve."]	Grated nutmeg.	—	—	—	—	—	This is a useful checkpoint for the restorative milk-punch borderland where the name 'punch' persists without citrus or spirit emphasis.	The fizz-glass landing is unusual for such a dairy-rich service and worth preserving.	—	—
2547	1138	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	95	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the lemon, sugar, orange bitters, cream, and Plymouth gin well.", "Strain into a star wine-glass, grate nutmeg on top, and serve."]	Grated nutmeg.	—	—	—	—	—	This is a useful named turn-of-the-century gin-and-cream cocktail that helps thicken the border between aromatic cocktail and dairy sour service.	Sheridan lands it in a wine-glass rather than a fizz or bar glass, which matters to its cocktail identity.	—	—
2550	1139	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	97	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the sugar, bitters, citrus, anisette, egg, brandy, and shaved ice thoroughly.", "Strain into a large glass, fill with seltzer, Vichy, or Apollinaris water, and serve."]	—	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	This is an important turn-of-the-century brace-up checkpoint because Sheridan keeps it alive as a named restorative rather than folding it into generic fizz logic.	The drink lands between sour, fizz, and restorative service, with the charged water added only after the main shake and strain.	—	—
3017	1139	Lowe 1904	Drinks as They Are Mixed	Paul E. Lowe	1904	16	1904 Drinks as they are Mixed by Paul E Lowe.md	["Add the sugar, bitters, lemon juice, lime juice, anisette, egg, brandy, and shaved ice to a shaker.", "Shake well and strain into a large glass.", "Fill with Apollinaris or Seltzer and serve."]	—	Shaved ice	Citrus, light anise, and brandy sweetness lead the aroma.	Brace Up is useful because it sits on the border between sour, fizz, and restorative service, showing how porous those categories remained in practice.	The finish is bright, lightly spiced, and softly foamy.	A hybrid sour-fizz restorative from the turn-of-the-century working bar.	—	—	—	—
4458	1139	—	Bartenders' Guide: How to Mix Drinks	Wehman Bros.	1912	9	1912 Wehman Bros.md	["Shake the sugar, bitters, citrus, anisette, egg, brandy, and shaved ice thoroughly, strain into a large glass, fill with Vichy or Apollinaris water, and serve."]	—	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
4930	1139	—	Bartenders' Manual	Bartenders Association of America	1913	16	1913 Bartenders' Manual (Bartenders Association of America).md	["Shake thoroughly, strain into a large glass, and fill with Vichy or Apollinaris water."]	—	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
5448	1139	Bullock 1917	The Ideal Bartender	Tom Bullock	1917	23	1917 The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock.md	["Shake well with shaved ice.", "Strain into a tall, thin glass, fill with Apollinaris, and serve."]	—	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	This matters because Bullock preserves a restorative egg-and-brandy branch that crosses sour and fizz logic.	The egg body and sparkling-water finish are both central to the drink's identity.	—	—
2552	1140	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	98	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Shake the sugar, a little charged water, lemon juice, rum, and shaved ice well.", "Strain into a claret wine glass, ornament with orange and berries in season, and serve."]	Orange and berries in season.	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	This is a useful turn-of-the-century checkpoint for the Santa Cruz rum branch of the sour family proper.	Sheridan still expects a dressed, decorative service even in a relatively lean sour structure.	—	—
3332	1140	—	The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide	Charles S. Mahoney	1905	201	1905 The Hoffman House Bartender's Guide by Charles S. Mahoney.md	["Dissolve the sugar in a little seltzer or Apollinaris water, then add the lemon juice, Santa Cruz rum, and shaved ice.", "Shake up, strain into a sour glass, and ornament with orange and berries in season."]	Orange and berries	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
4870	1140	—	Bartenders' Manual	Bartenders Association of America	1913	40	1913 Bartenders' Manual (Bartenders Association of America).md	["Shake up, strain into a claret wineglass, and ornament with orange and berries in season."]	Orange and berries	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2559	1141	—	The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks	J. E. Sheridan	1901	103	1901 The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J E Sheridan.md	["Season a large goblet with lemon, sauces, vinegar, salt, and peppers.", "Add the liquor of half a dozen freshly opened Blue Point oysters and serve."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	This preserves the savory oyster-cocktail edge of buffet-bar service, where 'cocktail' can denote a dressed restorative rather than a spirituous mix.	The drink is entirely about seasoning structure and fresh oyster liquor rather than spirit balance.	—	—
2563	1142	—	Recipes of American and Other Iced Drinks	Charlie Paul	1902	12	1902 Recipes of American and other Iced Drinks by Charlie Paul.md	["Fill a tumbler with chipped ice.", "Add the ingredients, stir well, and strain off."]	—	Chipped ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2564	1143	—	Recipes of American and Other Iced Drinks	Charlie Paul	1902	12	1902 Recipes of American and other Iced Drinks by Charlie Paul.md	["Fill a tumbler with chipped ice.", "Add the ingredients, stir well, strain off, and add a small piece of lemon peel."]	Lemon peel	Chipped ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2971	1143	Applegreen 1904	Applegreen's Bar Book	John Applegreen	1904	63	1904 Applegreen's Bar Book by John Applegreen.md	["Shake the absinthe, pepsin bitters, and vermouth with ice.", "Strain into a small thin tumbler, add a little seltzer, and serve."]	—	Packed mixing glass	Anise, vermouth herbs, and digestive bitters rise sharply.	This is another strong aperitif-era checkpoint, showing medicinal bitters, absinthe, and vermouth operating together in a way later cocktail histories often ignore.	The finish is bitter-herbal and sharply dry.	A tiny medicinal aperitif from the absinthe-vermouth fringe.	—	—	—	—
6039	1143	Tony 1924, el aperitivo	Manual del Barman	Antonio Fernandez (Tony)	1924	—	1924 Manual del Bar by Antonio Fernandez Tony.md	["Stir well with ice and strain into a cocktail glass."]	—	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

2566	1145	—	Recipes of American and Other Iced Drinks	Charlie Paul	1902	12	1902 Recipes of American and other Iced Drinks by Charlie Paul.md	["Roast the oranges until pale brown, place them in a tureen, cover with sugar, and add three glasses of claret.", "Cover and let stand for twenty-four hours.", "Place the tureen in a pan of boiling water, press the oranges with a wooden spoon, and run the juice through a sieve.", "Make the remainder of the claret hot, add the strained juice, and serve hot in grog glasses."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2570	1146	Brandy bottle cocktail	Recipes of American and Other Iced Drinks	Charlie Paul	1902	13	1902 Recipes of American and other Iced Drinks by Charlie Paul.md	["Combine the ingredients to make a bottle of stock brandy cocktail.", "Prepare whiskey and gin bottle cocktails the same way, substituting the base spirit."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2578	1147	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	24	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Dissolve the sugar in a little water and add the lime juice, pineapple syrup, Jamaica rum, and fine ice.", "Spoon well, decorate with fruit, and serve with straws."]	Fruit.	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This is a useful pineapple-syrup rum-fix checkpoint at the start of the twentieth century.	The fix stays in the spooned shaved-ice family rather than being shaken or strained.	—	—
2588	1148	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	29	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Dissolve the sugar in a little water and add the lime juice, pineapple syrup, St. Croix rum, and fine ice.", "Spoon well, decorate with fruit, and serve with straws."]	Fruit.	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This helps preserve St. Croix rum as a distinct fix base rather than just a generic rum branch.	Like the neighboring fixes, the service rests on spooned ice and fruit rather than shaking.	—	—
2589	1149	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	29	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Dissolve the sugar in water in a gin glass.", "Add the Angostura bitters, small lump of ice, gin, and twisted lemon peel, mix well with a spoon, and serve."]	Twisted lemon peel.	One small lump	—	—	—	—	This is a useful direct-glass old-fashioned gin witness in a period when the style is often discussed more for whiskey.	The drink is defined by direct-glass assembly and spoon service rather than straining.	—	—
2927	1149	Applegreen 1904	Applegreen's Bar Book	John Applegreen	1904	19	1904 Applegreen's Bar Book by John Applegreen.md	["Prepare as for the old-fashioned whiskey cocktail, substituting the customer's preferred gin for whiskey.", "Serve built over the lump ice."]	Lemon peel	1 lump	Citrus oil and gin botanicals rise clearly from the glass.	This matters because it shows the old-fashioned not as a whiskey-only relic, but as a broader service method applied across gin styles.	The finish is botanical, direct, and lightly bittered.	A gin old-fashioned preserving service method over spirit orthodoxy.	—	—	—	—
2592	1150	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	31	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Fill half a large ale glass with porter and the balance with old ale.", "Serve cold."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	This is a useful reminder that mixed-beer service remained part of the bartender's repertoire in 1903.	Daly emphasizes temperature rather than garnish or mixing complexity.	—	—
2595	1151	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	32	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Fill a large fancy glass half full with porter and the balance with champagne.", "Mix slowly with a spoon and serve."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	This is a good mixed-wine-and-stout social service checkpoint from Daly's domestic/club bar world.	Daly emphasizes slow mixing and quality ingredients more than garnish or temperature theatrics.	—	—
2596	1152	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	33	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Dissolve the sugar in a little seltzer water and add the raspberry syrup, sloe gin, lime juice, pineapple, blackberries, Benedictine, and fine ice.", "Shake well, decorate with fruit in season, and serve with straws."]	Fruit in season.	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This is a useful early-1900s berry-and-liqueur single-glass punch with a clearly decorative bar program.	The drink depends on heavy fruit inclusion and full shaken punch service rather than a simple stirred aromatic structure.	—	—
3797	1152	Didier 1909	The Reminder	Jacob A. Didier	1909	73	1909 The Reminder by Jacob A. Didier (3rd edition).md	["Use a punch glass.", "Add the gum syrup, raspberry syrup, lemon juice, Benedictine, and sloe gin.", "Fill with fine ice, stir, dress with fruit, and serve with straws."]	Fruit	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This gives Didier a second sloe-gin punch branch alongside Piccadilly Punch, showing how fully the fruit-gin line had entered decorative punch service by 1909.	—	—	—
2601	1153	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	35	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Add the orange juice, sugar, brandy, Benedictine, and shaved ice to a punch glass.", "Fill with claret, spoon well, add a spray of mint and fruit in season, and serve with straws."]	Mint and fruit in season.	Shaved ice	—	—	—	—	Daly explicitly links this formula to Monte Carlo club service, making it a useful named luxury-punch witness.	The claret top-up and straw service matter as much as the spirit base.	—	—
3792	1153	Didier 1909	The Reminder	Jacob A. Didier	1909	71	1909 The Reminder by Jacob A. Didier (3rd edition).md	["Use a punch glass.", "Add the orange juice, sugar, Benedictine, and brandy.", "Fill with fine ice, stir, fill the balance with claret wine, dress with fruit, and serve with straws."]	Fruit	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This helps show how wine-topped, cordial-accented single-glass punches remain active in 1909 bar practice.	—	—	—
2602	1154	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	36	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Shake the sugar, lemon juice, cream, Maple gin, and fine ice well in a mixing glass.", "Strain into a fizz glass, fill with seltzer water, and serve."]	—	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This is a good cream-fizz witness that preserves Maple gin specifically rather than a generic gin substitution.	The shaken cream base and final seltzer charge are both essential to the drink's service identity.	—	—
2941	1154	Applegreen 1904 Gin Puff	Applegreen's Bar Book	John Applegreen	1904	26	1904 Applegreen's Bar Book by John Applegreen.md	["Prepare as for the gin fizz, adding a little cream.", "Strain and finish with seltzer."]	—	Shaved ice	Lemon and cream soften the gin aroma.	This matters because it records the creamy fizz line before richer egg-and-cream New Orleans developments fully dominate the story.	The finish is soft, foamy, and lightly sparkling.	A cream-enriched fizz from the softening branch of the family.	—	—	—	—
3626	1154	Boothby 1908	The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them	Hon. Wm Boothby	1908	37	1908 The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them by Hon Wm Boothby.md	["Place the sugar, sour, gin, and thick cream in a shaker with three or four lumps of ice.", "Shake thoroughly and strain into a stem punch glass.", "Squeeze lemon peel over the top, fill with cold siphon soda, and serve while effervescing."]	Twist of lemon peel	Three or four lumps	Lemon and cream rise together over the gin.	The cream rounds the acidity and softens the texture, giving the drink a gentler, richer body than the plain fizz line.	The finish is foamy, citric, and softly sweet.	A creamy branch of the mature gin fizz family.	—	—	—	—
6198	1154	—	L'Art du Shaker	Dominique Migliorero	1925	19	1925 L'Art du Shaker by Dominique Migliorero.md	["Shake well in the shaker, pour into a large glass, finish with iced seltzer, and serve."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—
2606	1155	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	39	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Pour a small quantity of rum into a whiskey glass to cover the bottom and add a spoonful of black molasses.", "Hand the bottle of rum to the customer to help himself."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	Daly explicitly frames this as cold-and-grippe service, which makes it a useful restorative plain-drink witness.	The customer-finished service is the key part of the drink logic here.	—	—
3829	1155	Didier 1909	The Reminder	Jacob A. Didier	1909	125	1909 The Reminder by Jacob A. Didier (3rd edition).md	["Place a spoonful of black molasses in a whiskey glass.", "Hand the bottle of rum to the customer to help himself and serve with a spoon in the glass."]	—	—	—	—	—	—	This matters because it preserves another plain-service, customer-choice branch that later cocktail histories usually ignore.	The service depends on the customer-finished pour rather than a fixed bartender-measured build.	—	—
2607	1156	—	Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia	Tim Daly	1903	39	1903 Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia.md	["Shake the sugar, lemon juice, fine ice, and sloe gin well in a mixing glass.", "Strain into a fizz glass, fill with seltzer, and serve."]	—	Fine ice	—	—	—	—	This is a useful early witness for sloe gin entering the simple fizz frame rather than only punch or sour service.	The drink stays close to Daly's plain fizz grammar, with only the base changing.	—	—
3080	1156	Lowe 1904	Drinks as They Are Mixed	Paul E. Lowe	1904	40	1904 Drinks as they are Mixed by Paul E Lowe.md	["Shake the fine ice, lemon juice, sugar, and sloe gin.", "Strain into a fizz glass, fill with seltzer, and serve while effervescing."]	—	Fine ice	Berry fruit and lemon rise immediately.	This is a useful addition because it shows the fizz family comfortably absorbing fruit liqueur bases rather than staying confined to plain spirits.	The finish is sparkling, berry-led, and bright.	A berry-fruit branch of the mature fizz family.	—	—	—	—
3428	1156	—	Louis' Mixed Drinks with Hints for the Care & Serving of Wines	Louis Muckensturm	1906	57	Louis' Mixed Drinks by Muckensturm (1906).md	["Fill the mixing glass with ice, shake well, strain into a high-ball glass, top with soda, and serve."]	—	Ice	—	—	—	—	—	—	—	—

Wm Boothby	1908	38	1908 The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them by Hon Wm Boothby.md	["Make the drink as a Plain Gin Fizz.", "Substitute sloe gin for white gin.", "Serve charged and cold."]	Twist of lemon peel	Three or four lumps	Berry fruit and lemon rise first.	The drink is rounder and fruitier than the plain gin version, but still unmistakably part of the same charged sour family.	The finish is berry-led, fizzy, and sweet-tart.	A fruit-liqueur branch of the mature fizz family.	—	—	—	—
