Yes, I noticed that, too. I decided to leave it out of the story in the interest of simplicity, but it is an intriguing bit of marginalia. The Creole Cocktail story is a very tangled one, and I have absolutely no idea how some of these connections (or missed connections) arise. I suspect you’re in the right of it with the “telephone” theory. Typos, speculation, and bad memories can account for a lot of things in history, and not just cocktail history.

Thanks for adding the EUVS link; that’s a very fun and useful collection, and I recommend it to anyone who likes to root around in the history and evolution of the cocktail.

I see Boothby has a “Crutch” cocktail in his 1934 edition that seems Trader Vic is oddly referring to: “Crutch cocktail. Same as Creole cocktail.” Its the gin sherry lemon. How do these things get confused? Is it just because it was the days before the internet and things tended to get “telephoned” a little bit more back then?

Also if you’re not aware of this collection you should be : https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/#
