A blue blazer is a type of cocktail created by Jerry Thomas a bartender and author while working at the El Dorado in San Francisco. Reportedly while making the drink, president Ulysses S. Grant was so impressed that he gave Thomas a cigar. Thomas would only make the drink if the outside temperature was 50° F or below or if the person ordering the drink had a cold or the flu, whose symptoms the drink was to alleviate.
