1931 Old Waldorf Bar Days by Albert Stevens Crockett

Fancy Potations and Otherwise

PEGGY O'NEILL PUNCH After an opera or play of that name, it is believed. The original Peggy O'Neill was the daughter of a Washington tavern-keeper noted for her beauty and wit. First married to a purser in the U. S. Navy named Timberlake, who, a few years later, committed suicide, her second husband was Major J. H. Eaton, who soon afterward became Secretary of War in, Andrew Jackson's cabinet. For many years she was the center of a great scandal in Washington, and on her account Jackson reorganized his cabinet. After the death of her husband, she married an Italian dancing mas– ter many yeq.rs younger than herself, who, before she di– vorced him, had squandered much of her property. Occa– sionally, there is a good story behind the name of a drink. (goblet) One dash Parfait d'Amour One Lime Peel in center of glass One drink Rye Whiskey Three sprigs Mint , Fill with Seltzer
