History:
Adapted from a cocktail discovered in 2006 at Brandy Library, New York City, USA. However, the Oh Henry has vintage origins and appears in numerous cocktail tomes stirred and served straight-up.
Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book (in the "cocktails" section):
"OH HENRY! Cocktail.
1/3 Bénédictine.
1/3 Whisky.
1/3 Ginger Ale.
Stir well and serve."
Stanley M. Jones 1977 by Jones' Complete Barguide:
"OH HENRY!
Cocktail glass
Stir
1 oz whiskey (Bourbon)
1 oz Benedictine
¾ oz ginger ale"
