Mixed Drinks by Herbert W. Green (1895, p.67)
| 1 jigger | Jamaica rum | base |
| 0.5 jigger | creme de menthe — Creme De Menthe | modifier |
- Fill a thin lemonade glass one-third full of fine ice and add the rum and creme de menthe.
- Stir gently, fill with ice, and serve with straws.
Ice: Fine ice
This is a useful menthe-cooler checkpoint because it keeps the cordial branch inside mainstream long-drink service.
Green emphasizes gentle stirring rather than shaking, keeping the drink in the cooler field rather than the frappe field.
