The Complete Buffet Manual or How to Mix Fancy Drinks by J. E. Sheridan (1901, p.93)

- Fill up the glass with good apple cider, stir well with a spoon, and serve.
This is a useful checkpoint for customer-finished whisky service surviving inside the main drink chapter rather than as a side note.
The hand-the-bottle instruction is the key service detail here.
