Considering how to transform Jerry Thomas's 1862 Saratoga Cocktail into the Vieux Carré by adding Benedictine and Peychaud’s, I wondered what it would be like with Maraschino and absinthe, as detailed in Thomas's second edition. Since Saratoga Springs, New York, was known for its gambling dens, horse racing, cocktail bars, spas, and hotels, I named this drink after a hotel that opened around the time when the "Improved" style became popular there.
