tanstaafl2 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Well now, here is a bit of a curiosity. Saw his on Camper English's blog and it has the link to the NY Times article that (presumably) reveals the truth directly from the source, Adam Seger. Thought the other 2 or 3 of us who are cocktail history nerds (ok, I may be the only one!) might find this amusing. Not the first time a story has been made up about the origin of a cocktail , as the articles note, but a pretty good job of keeping the secret of a "classic" for as long as he did. And of course you knew Gaz! After all you are a cocktail demigod, Really, I believe you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry in WashDC Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Mother duck! You mean the dozen or so cocktail history books I own have falsehoods in them? You mean the story I've been telling when I serve this is no better than the Templeton Bourbon story? I am chagrined. OTOH, I like this cocktail. So, I'll just stop telling the old story. In sum - THX for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dusty Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 Very interesting Bruce. I've been to the lobby bar and had a Seelbach at the Seelbach out of nostalgia. Too bad it was faux nostalgia. But a decent cocktail though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
