History:

A Toronto Cocktail based on brandy rather than whiskey, as is the norm today. Brandy is used in preference to whiskey for this cocktail in Robert Vermeire's 1922 Cocktails - How to Mix Them. The name, and indeed trying brandy as the base, is thanks to a comment by Michael N. on our Toronto cocktail page in February 2022.
