Harry McElhone was a Scotsman that learned to bartend in Paris, London and New York. He is credited with creating numerous classic cocktails but one lesser known creation of his is the Cameron's Kick. Not much is known about the naming and history of the drink. It was first published in his cocktail recipe book, ABC of Mixing Drinks, in 1922 and later in Harry Craddock's The Savoy Cocktail Book. McElhone opened Harry's Bar in Paris a year after publishing his cocktail book.
The most interesting part of this cocktail is the split spirit base of Scotch whisky and Irish whiskey. Whilst splitting the base spirit to add complexity is a common technique in a modern bartender's repertoire, it was rare in the drink's era.
Many people will use the standard sour template (2 oz spirit, 3/4 oz citrus, 3/4 oz sweetener) for this drink but I've stuck with the original specs from Harry McElhone's book. The smaller measures of lemon juice and orgeat let the whiskey's character shine through more.
