History:

Over the years, multiple variants of the recipe developed, including other daisies involving other base spirits, such as whiskey or gin. Citrus — typically lemon juice, but occasionally orange or lime juice — is common throughout most daisy recipes. Liqueurs or cordials also figure prominently, ranging from Curaçao to maraschino or yellow Chartreuse, distinguishing the daisy from other sour cocktails. Sweeteners range from gomme syrup to grenadine syrup, raspberry syrup, or bar sugar. The Brandy Daisy is a cocktail which first gained popularity in the late 19th century. One of the earliest known recipes (the one shown on this page) was published in 1876 in the second edition of Jerry Thomas' The Bartenders Guide or How To Mix Drinks: The Bon-Vivants Companion. - Wikipedia
