This is cocktail #175 in Harry Johnson’s 1882 print of the Bartenders Manual. Harry Johnson was a German born (More specifically Prussian born, A unified Germany didn’t exist yet) bartender and peer to Jerry Thomas. Jerry Thomas does steal a lot of Harry Johnson’s thunder since he was the first one to be published but both created exceptional recipes. Since Harry Johnson was german born his books are written in both English and German.
