Hi Vasiliy. Please see the following online EUVS copy of Harry Johnson's 1882 Bartenders' Manual, which only has 193 pages. This 1882 edition doesn’t include a

The Tuxedo appears on page 267 of his 1900 edition.

Thanks, I will check my copy!

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"

Harry Johnson's Bartenders' Manual, originally published 1882, has a bijou cocktail.

Gustave Tops was barman in the bar of the Metropolitan Hotel in Brussels... a very prestigeous and splendid hotel, owned privately and not by a international hotel-chain... sadly it had to close its doors last week due to the Corona-crisis... a very great loss... look at my Pinterest-page on the Hotel Métropole...

Can I ask you to share the source of information about the Metropolitan Hotel in Brussels? I couldn't find any active links to your Pinterest page...

I wanted to get this solved once and for all, especially because I don't have an ice scoop.

(I've used an AI to generate this, it would be great if someone could run a little experiment to confirm if this is accurate!)

## Crushed Ice in a 7 oz Scoop

A standard 7 oz cocktail scoop holds approximately 200-250 grams of loosely packed crushed ice[1][2].

When filled, a 7 oz scoop contains around 1 cup of crushed ice. The exact weight can vary depending on how tightly the ice is packed in the scoop[3].

As a general guideline:

- 1 cup of loosely packed crushed ice weighs around 113-142 grams (4-5 oz)[1]
- 1 cup of more densely packed crushed ice weighs around 170 grams (6 oz)[2]

So in summary, a full 7 oz cocktail scoop will hold 200-250 grams of crushed ice, with the exact amount depending on how much the ice is compressed when scooping.

We in Russia have always been puzzled about "how many ounces of ice in a scoop of ice", as well as about the usual for you "cup of ice", but, we thought that these are understandable and familiar concepts for the Western world. Like inches and pounds. And it turns out, no?
