Ice: One chunk
- Summary
- A straightforward whiskey-and-ginger-ale cooler with a small orange lift, showing the cooler field thickening in 1888.
Puritan Cooler matters because it preserves an early bottled-mixer whiskey long drink before later highball naming fully settles.
The single large ice chunk and bottle-lengthened service place it clearly in cooler rather than cocktail logic.
Compared with John Collins, this is less lemon-sugar structured and more directly bottle-mixer driven.
