So add the Sazerac, kick the Old Fashioned, hold that Zombie and last call on the Ramos Gin Fizz - this is gettin' real close;

  1. Tom & Jerry (1820's)
  2. Mint Julep (1824)
  3. Sazerac (1859)
  4. Manhattan (1870's)
  5. Ramos Gin Fizz (1888)
  6. Daquiri (1905)
  7. Planters Punch (1908)
  8. Singapore Sling (1910)
  9. Martini (1910)
  10. Sidecar (1917)
  11. Zombie (1934)

I had the Collins in there to represent the whole Fizz family, but the Ramos is a great call. It's interesting how the last 5 are all Tiki standards to this day - the Mai Tai is basically a Rum Sidecar. (I went to a really busy, old-school bar a few nights ago and the bartender had never even heard of a Sidecar.)
