This is a twist on the Japanese Cocktail that dates back to the mid-1860s. Cocktail historian David Wondrich (author of books Imbibe! and Punch) suggests that the name of the original stemmed from the frequent visits to Jerry Thomas’s bar by a member of Japan’s first diplomatic mission to America. The key “improvement” here comes by way of the addition of Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice and Peychaud’s bitters.
