My interpretation:
1.25 oz William Wolf Rye
0.75 oz Noilly Prat Rouge
1 dash St. George absinthe
Fill mixing-glass half-full with broken ice, shake, strain into cocktail glass, serve. — This Manhattan riff with absinthe instead of bitters, perhaps named after the Civil War general, appears first in Straub; from thence it is taken into JM1916.
