This stayed purely a local drink until Jerry Thomas—who must have met Santini and/or had his drinks when he was in the Crescent City in the 1850s—put the Crusta in his book. This isn’t to say the Crusta was a huge hit. It was always a cult drink—one with few but fanatic devotees.&nbsp; But it planted a seed. That seed would remain dormant until the 1890s, when suddenly everyone started putting lemon juice, lime juice, even orange juice into their cocktails. From the Crusta, evolution brings us the Sidecar—and life without Sidecars would be very dreary indeed.
