Review:

STIR well and strain into an icy cold glass and this subtly flavoured whiskey cocktail is a delicious way to chase a good evening.

- Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book garnished with a "olive and squeeze orange peel on top"

- Patrick Gavin Duffy's 1934 Official Mixer's Manual also with a "olive and squeeze orange peel on top"
