Cocktails created by Jerry Thomas

[evo-lution]

I'm currently working on a drinks menu for a client, and plan on including a drink/s that were created by the hands of Professor Jerry Thomas.

I'm having a bit of difficulty finding out which drinks he created though, so thought I'd ask here and see if you lovely folks could help me out?

So, do we have a list of drinks that he created? Or drinks that he adapted and can take credit for.

EDIT- Did he create the Knickerbocker, White Lion, Martinez and Tom & Jerry, for example?

Many thanks in advance ,

Adam

As far as I've heard (think this comes from Dave Wondrich) the only cocktail we know for sure was invented by JT was the Japanese Cocktail.

And that's brandy, orgeat, bitters and lemon peel, yeah? The name of the cocktail alone would work with the style of venue the menu is for.

Interesting that the Japanese cocktail is the only drink that we know for sure he created. Any ideas about who created the drinks I mentioned in my first post?

Hmmmm...

Add, perhaps, the Buck and Breck, detailed in my book, and what he called Lamb's Wool, whhich from his description of it was merely a Hot Buttered Rum that had been set alight so that the butter would pop and crackle like burning wool.
