History
The Orange Blossom is a short drink composed of gin and orange juice, the first appearance of this cocktail in a book dates from 1906, it was in "Louis Mixed Drinks" by Louis Muckensturm.
In this Orange Blossom from 1906 we find additional vermouth, which was removed in all the works that were published afterwards. If we trust this 1906 book the Orange Blossom was originally almost a Bronx.
