The Reminder by Jacob A. Didier (1909, p.133) — Didier 1909
| 1 teaspoonful | sugar — sugar | base |
| 1.5 sprigs | fresh mint — fresh mint | other |
| Whiskey Toddy base — whiskey toddy base | other |
- Put the sugar and one or two sprigs of fresh mint into a whiskey glass.
- Serve the same as plain whiskey toddy, leaving the spoon in the glass.
Garnish: Fresh mint
Ice: As plain whiskey toddy
This matters because it keeps the toddy line from being treated as wholly separate from mint-marked whiskey service.
The source is derivative by reference, so the mint addition is the real point to preserve here rather than re-inventing the whole toddy formula.
