The Eddy is the drier version of the Orange Blossom No. 1; it simply uses dry instead of sweet vermouth. According to A.S Crockett in The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book, this was one of the popular pre-Prohibition, orange-based cocktails that were confused with one another by "home" bartenders a few years later, during what he called the "Doubtful Drink Era."

Ingredients:

Preparation:

  1. Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes.
  2. Stir well.
  3. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

What's in a name?
The best guess as to the origins of the Eddy comes from The Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book. In it A.S. Crockett is "inclined to attribute" the drink to a popular diplomat of the early 1900's what went into obscurity after marrying a rich heiress.
