Johnson's version shows that transition clearly in a fully codified turn-of-the-century form.The drink should stay dry and brisk. Adding sweetener would blur the whole point of the Rickey branch.

Johnson treats such drinks as proper bar work, not as an afterthought.Even this simple drink is expected to be dressed attractively and served cold with enough citrus and sugar to read as generous rather than thin.

It shows the drink as a technical hot-service preparation rather than a vague household warmer.Order matters here. The egg is protected by technique, and the drink depends on careful tempering rather than brute mixing.
