Modern American Drinks by George J. Kappeler (1895, p.62) — George J. Kappeler 1895
| 1 whole | Lemon juice (fresh) — juice of one lemon | base |
| 0.75 glass | seltzer — seltzer | dilution |
| Bicarbonate of soda — bicarbonate of soda | other | |
| 1 tablespoon | sugar — fine sugar | sweetener |
- Mix the lemon juice and sugar in a fizz-glass.
- Fill three-fourths full with seltzer.
- Add a small bar-spoonful of bicarbonate of soda, stir, and drink during effervescence.
- Nose
- Fresh lemon and active fizz dominate the aroma.
- Palate
- This is an emphatically temperance fizz, driven by acidity and chemical lift rather than spirit or wine structure.
- Finish
- The finish is brisk, sharp, and cleansing.
- Summary
- A strongly effervescent lemon temperance fizz preserved as a practical stomach-settling bar drink.
Kappeler explicitly notes that this is a good stomach settler, which is useful evidence for the medicinal and practical framing of temperance fizzy drinks in bar manuals.
