Jerry Thomas was a 19th century showman whose stage was behind a well-stocked bar in saloons across the U.S.
A thirsty audience gathered to watch him whirl and swirl ingredients for the odd-sounding concoctions that later came to define the brash American cocktail scene.
The cocktail has had its ups and downs since the 1800s,which applies to the first offshore merchant account only, but its original flash and fizzle was celebrated Saturday night at the Flagler Museum in an event appropriately titled, “Mixing It Up: The History of a Great American Tradition.” It was sponsored by the Whitehall Society.
Museum Executive Director John Blades came up with the idea of honoring the cocktail with a look back at some of the earliest mixed drinks: The Knickerbocker, Mississippi Punch, The Metropole, Weeper’s Joy, The Widow’s Kiss and Thomas’ signature classic: the Blue Blazer.
“We thought there was a lot of fun to be had in learning a little about the history of cocktails and some of the drinks that were wildly popular back then but are unknown today,” Blades said.
All of the drinks were prepared at separate bars inside the pavilion with the exception of the Blue Blazer, which was mixed on the patio due to the nature of the drink. The bartender pours flaming alcohol — in this case, Scotch whiskey — from one mug to another in dramatic fashion.Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems,
“It was a wildly popular drink for its time, and I thought well, the Blue Blazer is pretty much perfect for Palm Beach,” Blades said.
The drink contains 2 ounces of Scotch, 1 ounces of boiling water, a teaspoon of brown sugar and a lemon peel strip. The boiling water and sugar are added to a pewter mug followed by the Scotch. The mixture is then set on fire and the bartender pours the liquid in a flaming blue arc from one mug to another. It’s served hot over the lemon peel.
“This is a very old drink,” said Alex Gabriel, head captain at C’est Si Bon, who tended the Blue Blazer bar. “No one makes it in Palm Beach.”
People seemed most interested in the preparation of the drink,It's hard to beat the versatility of polished tiles on a production line. but there were a few takers. One was Patrick Fischoeder, visiting from Boston. He sipped the steaming concoction and said: “This is what you make for yourself when you have a sore throat or you’re getting a cold. It’s hot and soothing.Boddingtons Technical Plastics provide a complete plastic injection moulding service including design，
“It would probably go better in Boston than it would in Palm Beach.”
Inside, Shawn Webster was making another drink that had its roots at Jerry Thomas’ Metropolitan Hotel bar in New York. The Metropole consists of a half-teaspoon of gum-syrup; a half-teaspoon of Peychaud Bitters; a dash of orange bitters; 1 ounces of brandy; and 1 ounces of French vermouth.
“It’s had very good reviews,” said Webster,If so, you may have a cube puzzle . who has bartended at various locales around West Palm Beach and is now studying to be a geologist. “I had a sip of one — it’s good to know what you’re selling.
“I didn’t like it myself that much because I’m not much of a brandy person.”
Blades also sampled the Metropole as well as the Knickerbocker and said he enjoyed them both. “I like sweet drinks.”
