Although perhaps not originally named after Robert Burns (1759-1796), the poet, balladeer and Scotland's favourite son, this cocktail is drunk to honour...
"Bobby Burns Cocktail (by W. J. Burke, Litchfield, Conn). Use mixing glass; fill up with shaved ice; two dashes of gum; two dashes of oranges bitters; two dashes of ginger cordial; one pony of Scotch Whiskey. Strain into cocktail glass; squeeze lemon rind and serve."
