Hey... I need help on an old drink recipe if possible. I have a small bar in Northern Indiana and I am always in pursuit of old school cocktail drinks for our restaurant & tiki bar, Noa Noa Wood Grill. While I was on my honeymoon last weekend in New Buffalo Michigan I purchased a wood bound 1932 Cocktail bar guide and an a great antique post card from the Creighton's Restaurant in Florida ( They had 4 locations at the time) from 1962 describing the Whirlwind Cocktail. To my dismay no ingredients are given but for a $1.25 the many descriptions are very inviting though...

"The pristine brightness of a new world
...angels' voices... heavenly music.
Wake up, Bub! You should never of have had
that second Whirlwind!" and so on...

Anyway I love tying old nicknacks we have around the bar with our drinks so if anyone has an original recipe for the Whirlwind Cocktail from the Creighton's Restaurant (circa 1962) I would love to get my rum soaked fingers on it! I'll make sure you get "props" at the bar.

Thanks-
Scott Woods
