Recipes for Mixed Drinks by Hugo R. Ensslin (1917, p.34) — Ensslin 1917

0.5 drink	Irish whiskey — Bushmills Irish Whiskey	base
0.25 drink	Chartreuse — Source OCR is slightly damaged but the quarter-drink reading is well supported by context.	modifier
0.5 drink	Italian vermouth — Italian Vermouth	modifier

Ice: Cracked ice

This matters because it gives us a clean pre-war Tipperary checkpoint before later standardization narrows how the drink is remembered.

Its identity lies in the Irish-whiskey and Chartreuse relationship rather than in garnish or theatrical service.

L'Art du Shaker by Dominique Migliorero (1925, p.66)

0.33 part	orange juice — Orange juice	acid
0.33 part	gin — Gin	base
2 dash	Grenadine — Grenadine	base
0.33 part	Italian vermouth — Vermouth Turin	modifier

Barflies and Cocktails by Harry McElhone and Wynn (1927, p.79) — Minted gin version

0.17 part	orange juice — Orange Juice	base
0.33 part	French vermouth — Noilly Prat French Vermouth	modifier
2 sprigs	mint — Fresh Mint	other
0.17 part	Grenadine	sweetener

This matters because it preserves a less familiar minted gin Tipperary branch in the late McElhone field.
