The Ideal Bartender by Tom Bullock (1917, p.44) — Country Club Style
| 0.5 lemon | Lemon juice (fresh) — Lemon Juice | acid |
| 0.5 lime | Lime juice (fresh) — Lime Juice | base |
| 1 jigger | Old Tom gin — Burnette's Old Tom Gin | base |
| ginger ale — Imported Ginger Ale | dilution | |
| 1 teaspoonful | sugar — Bar Sugar | sweetener |
- Use a large mixing glass filled with lump ice and stir well with the still ingredients.
- Strain into a tall, thin glass, fill with imported ginger ale, and serve.
Ice: Lump ice
This matters because Bullock preserves an early gin-and-ginger-ale highball branch under an already recognizable later name.
The imported ginger ale finish is the core of the drink's identity here.
