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.
Fancy Gin Cocktail
Thomas's upgraded version of the plain Gin Cocktail: Holland gin stirred with sugar, bitters, and a dash of curaçao, strained into a small cocktail glass and garnished with a lemon twist. The qualifier "Fancy" in 1862 indicated curaçao was added to the base recipe — one of the earliest records of a cocktail differentiated by a single luxury modifier.
Locomotive
A richly unusual hot wine cocktail from Thomas's 1862 guide: red wine mulled with honey, curaçao, and egg yolk, served hot in a goblet with a lemon slice. One of the most distinctive recipes in the book — warming, complex, and entirely unlike any modern cocktail category.
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.
