Recipes for Mixed Drinks by Hugo R. Ensslin (1917, p.10) — Ensslin 1917
| 0.5 lime | Lime juice (fresh) — Lime Juice | acid |
| 1 drink | Bacardi rum — Bacardi Rum | base |
| 2 dashes | gum syrup — Gum Syrup | sweetener |
Ice: Cracked ice
This matters because it gives a clear pre-Prohibition Bacardi checkpoint before later legal and brand standardisation settles the drink.
The structure is a direct shaken rum sour, with no fruit dressing or topping-up logic.
The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock (1917, p.17) — Bullock 1917
| 1 jigger | Bacardi rum — Bacardi Rum | base |
| 0.5 jigger | Grenadine syrup — Cusiner Grenadine | base |
Ice: Lump ice
This matters because Bullock preserves a notably stripped Bacardi branch before lime becomes mandatory in many later tellings.
The omission of citrus is historically significant and should not be normalized away.

| 1 jigger | Bacardi rum — Bacardi Rum | base |
| 0.5 lime | Lime juice (fresh) — Lime Juice | base |
| 2 dashes | Grenadine syrup — Imported Grenadine | sweetener |
Ice: Lump ice
This matters because Bullock makes the lime-bearing Country Club branch explicit rather than assuming there was only one Bacardi formula.
The source-specific label belongs in the ontology because it captures venue/service identity, not just a recipe tweak.

| 1 tsp | sugar | base |
| 1 dash | curacao — Curacaio | modifier |
| 0.5 pony | French vermouth — French Vermouth | modifier |
| 0.5 pony | Italian vermouth — Italian Vermouth | modifier |
Garnish: Cherry and pineapple
This matters because it shows a richer, vermouth-bearing early 1920s Bacardi branch rather than the later stripped canonical line.
The dual-vermouth structure is the defining feature and should remain visible.

Garnish: Lemon peel
Ice: 3 to 4 pieces ice
This matters because it gives us a Spanish late-1920s Bacardi witness alongside the Anglo-American line.
