Honolulu Cocktail

Jack's Manual by J. A. Grohusko (1908, p.39) — Grohusko 1908

1. Place the ice, bitters, and whiskey in a champagne glass.
2. Fill almost to the top of the glass, add a small spoon of sugar, stir while still effervescing, and serve.

Ice: 1 small piece

Nose

Bitters and whiskey rise from the sparkling surface.

Palate

This is a useful hybrid because it sits between sparkling cocktail logic and later highball service rather than fitting neatly into either alone.

Finish

The finish is lively, lightly sweet, and spicy.

Summary

A sparkling whiskey hybrid from the cocktail-highball borderland.
