I found Tuxedo in Harry Johnson's 1882 Bartenders' Manual (p. 266), so it is not "First documented in Harry Johnson's 1900 Bartenders' Manual"

Just found this wonderful article! We've been on a Tuxedo #2 experiment this week. We just had a cocktail using 1.5 oz. Hayman's London Dry gin, .5 oz. Dolin Blanc, 1/4 oz. Fratelli Vergnano Maraschino, a rinse of Absente (about 1/8 oz.), 1 dash each Fee Bros. Orange and Fee Bros. Walnut Bitters. Wow! It doesn't match any of the recipes I looked at this week, but oh my does it shine. Layers of flavors; still dry! We prefer dry cocktails.

Love the grid! I imagine one for the French 75 would be helpful!

Good point, Felicia. I'll try to remember when I revisit our French 75 page.
