Tom and Jerry
Jerry Thomas's signature creation: a warm egg-batter punch spiked with brandy and rum, served in a hot goblet. Thomas is said to have invented it during his tenure at the Planter's House Hotel in St. Louis in the 1850s, though the drink's exact origin is disputed. It was popular enough that Thomas named his 1862 bar guide after it.
Blue Blazer
Jerry Thomas's most theatrical creation: a stream of flaming Scotch whisky tossed between two silver tankards, producing a blue arc of fire before being doused with water and sweetened with sugar. Thomas used to perform it for President Millard Fillmore. It is the original bartender performance piece.
Brandy Smash (1862)
Jerry Thomas's muddled mint and brandy cocktail, the direct ancestor of the Mint Julep and Mojito families. Thomas defined a "smash" as a small Julep — a single-serving muddled mint drink served over crushed ice. His 1862 recipe calls for brandy, sugar, and fresh mint crushed in the glass.
Knickerbocker (1862)
A New York rum punch from Thomas's 1862 guide: Santa Cruz rum shaken with raspberry syrup, curaçao, and lemon juice over crushed ice. Named for the Knickerbocker tradition of old New York Dutch families, it is one of the earliest recorded shaken cocktails that explicitly requires fruit syrup and citrus together.
Sherry Cobbler (1862)
The most popular drink in mid-19th-century America according to contemporary accounts. Jerry Thomas's 1862 Sherry Cobbler is sherry, sugar, and orange slices churned with crushed ice in a large tumbler, served with a straw. It is historically responsible for popularising both the drinking straw and the widespread use of ice in American bars.
Brandy Crusta
The Brandy Crusta is the direct ancestor of the Sidecar and — through it — the entire sour-with-sugar-rim family. Invented by New Orleans bartender Joseph Santini around 1850 and included in Thomas's 1862 guide: brandy, lemon juice, curaçao, and maraschino in a sugar-rimmed glass fitted with a complete spiral of lemon peel.
