The Japanese Cocktail was invented by "Professor" Jerry Thomas, who is considered the grandfather of the bartending world. It first appeared in his famous 1862 bartending guide "How to Mix Drinks or The Bon-Vivant's Companion."
Originally, lemon peels were stirred with the other ingredients in a rocks glass and the drink was served over ice. Over the years small things were replaced and we now have a Japanese Cocktail with lime juice that is served up. Either way, it's a delightful drink and a true classic that you won't want to pass up.
There is nothing in this drink that is related to Japanese culture or food. The story behind the name implies that it was inspired by the first Japanese representatives to the United Nations who roomed near Thomas' bar.
