History

Whiskey with herbal notes and ginger.

This cocktail is adapted from a drink discovered in 2006 at Brandy Library, New York City, USA. However, the Oh Henry has older roots, appearing in various cocktail books, typically prepared stirred and served straight-up. According to Harry Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book, in the "cocktails" section: "OH HENRY! Cocktail. 1/3 Bénédictine. 1/3 Whisky. 1/3 Ginger Ale. Stir well and serve." Stanley M. Jones' 1977 Jones' Complete Barguide offers a variation: "OH HENRY! Cocktail glass Stir 1 oz whiskey (Bourbon) 1 oz Benedictine ¾ oz ginger ale"
