Amara e vischio
Amara e vischio, Anglice whisky sour, est potio mixta generis amararum, quae in Civitatibus Foederatis ante annum 1870 inventa mox sub familia cocktail comprehensa est. Potiones amarae e mixtura anteriori, nomine grog, evoluisse censentur.

Citationem antiquissimam usque hodie notam, ubi de amara e vischio agitur (sed sine praeceptis), hic e diario Visconsinensi habes, e fabula dialecto Hibernica litteraria utente extracta:
"Fhat, cousin," says I, "appoint the man who starved to death thousands of Confederate soldiers ...?" "The same ..." says me cousin, ... taking a drink ... "Then may God have mercy on your sowl," says I, taking a drink out of me cousin's glass. "Amen," says the Methodist, as he ordered another whisky sour.
("'Quid,' dixi, 'germane, istum promovebis qui milia militum Confoederatorum fame mori mandavit?' 'Eundem,' ait, potum sibi nanciscens. 'Miseretur ergo Dominus animi tui,' dixi potumque ex illius cyatho sorbui. 'Amen,' ait Methodista alteramque amaram e vischio postulavit.") Praecepta antiquissima anno 1884 a Carolo Paul, pincerna Londiniensi, atque anno 1887 a successore Ieremiae Thomas cauponario Neo-Eboracensi, dantur. Whisky sour e vischio, suco limoniorum, saccharo confectum, frusto aurantii cerasoque maraschino condito ornatum, e glacie obferri solet.
