Albert Stevens Crockett, author of "The Old Waldorf-Astoria bar book", noted that this drink, then called the Robert Burns, was created prior to Prohibition. He intimated the it was born at the Waldorf-Astoria: "It may have been named after the celebrated Scotsman. Chances are, however, that it was christened in honor of a cigar salesman, who bought the Old Bar"
Fans of the Manhattan will no doubt enjoy the Bobby Burns Cocktail. Named after the Scottish poet, Robert Burns, it will certainly give you poetic inspiration. Grab your kilt and pipes or at least a pen and paper, mix up a Bobby Burns and get writing!
