I'm having (Polish) Rye Vodka Martinis (made with White--Not Dry--Italian Vermouth and garnished with Blue Cheese-stuffed Olives) so we are Twin Sons Of Different Mothers.

Here are two randomly selected Rye Whiskey cocktail recipes from my elsewhere-mentioned first edition copy of "The How And When" (Chicago: 1937, Gale, Hyman & Marco, Gerald F., Ed.), quite possibly the best bartender's guide ever published:

Blue Moon Cocktail

1/3 Ounce Benedictine
1/3 Ounce Rye Whiskey
1/3 Ounce Ginger Ale
Shake Well
Strain Into Cocktail Glass

Wisconsin Cocktail
7/8 Jigger Rye Whiskey
1/8 Jigger Apricot Brandy
Shake Well
