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.

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.

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.
