A recipe for the cocktail appears as early as "Professor" Jerry Thomas' Bon Vivant's Companion (1862), which omits the brandy or cognac and is considered to be the "classic" American version.
Examples of Champagne cocktails being consumed in fiction include the Victor Laszlo and Captain Renault characters in Casablanca (1942), Nora Charles (Myrna Loy) in the Thin Man movies, and General Sternwood in Raymond Chandler's novel The Big Sleep, who requests his with "a third of a glass of brandy under the Champagne and the Champagne cold as Valley Forge.
