Applegreen's Bar Book by John Applegreen (1904, p.61) — Applegreen 1904
| 0.5 whole lime | Lime juice (fresh) — juice of half a lime | base |
| 1 jigger | Scotch whisky | base |
| Soda water — seltzer | dilution | |
| 1 small lump | ice — ice | other |
| 1 barspoon | sugar — powdered sugar | sweetener |
- Build the lime juice, Scotch whisky, and ice in an old-fashioned toddy glass.
- Fill with seltzer and add a small barspoon of powdered sugar.
Ice: Small lump
- Nose
- Lime and Scotch rise lightly from the charged glass.
- Palate
- This is a nice family-tree link because it sits between the unsweetened Rickey idea and the sweeter highball tradition rather than aligning perfectly with either.
- Finish
- The finish is fizzy, tart, and lightly sweetened.
- Summary
- A Scotch-lime highball hovering between Rickey and sweetened soda service.
