This is probably one of the first mixed drinks made from a spirit and a carbonated drink. It was already drunk around 1775 and probably long before that.

The Stone Fence, is a very old mixed drink. It is something like a Highball. Entstanden ist er jedoch lange bevor der Begriff „Highball“ geprägt wurde.
Jerry Thomas described it as early as 1862 and prepared it with bourbon whiskey. However, two years later in “The English and Australian Cookery Book” there is a reference to the fact that a Stone Wall or Stone Fence can be prepared with any kind of spirit. We will look at the exact recipe later.
Stone Fence was already an old drink in Jerry Thomas’ day. It was already around at the time of the American Revolution. [1-206] Legend has it that it was drunk for courage before the Battle of Ticonderoga in 1775. In that battle, a small force of Americans under the command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold succeeded on 10 May 1775 in taking Fort Ticonderoga, located in New York State, unexpectedly in a hand coup while the garrison of only two officers and 64 men slept. The Americans captured large supplies of gunpowder and ammunition, which they used in the siege of Boston. [1-205][1-206][2][3][4][6] At the time, a Stone Fence was said to be a mixture of cider and New England rum. [1-206][4][5][6]
This drink is also said to have been named “Stonewall” after the Confederate General Thomas Jonathan Jackson. During the First Battle of Bull Run on 21 July 1861, it was said, “Look at Jackson’s brigade! It stands there like a stone wall” – Thomas Jackson and later his brigade were thus given the nickname “Stonewall”. [7-274][8]
However, as we will demonstrate below, a Stone Wall is different from a Stone Fence.
Es gibt auch die Erklärung, daß die Bezeichnung „Stone-Fence“ aus der Kolonisierungszeit Amerikas stamme: There is also the explanation that the term “stone fence” originates from the colonisation period of America: “The Indians used to let their cattle roam free and this gave rise to the settlers catching and keeping animals that strayed into their property. Before the judge, the Indians never found justice unless they could prove that their property was surrounded by a fence. This, of course, was never the case and probably many settlers will have “increased” their livestock in this way. Such an “increase” was celebrated over a drink which, with sympathetic ulterior motives, had been given the name “Stone-Fence”.” [9-313]
– „Die Indianer pflegten ihr Vieh frei herumlaufen zu lassen und dies gab den Anlaß dazu, daß die Siedler Tiere, die sich in ihrem Besitz verliefen, einfingen und behielten. Vor dem Richter fanden die Indianer nie Recht, wenn sie nicht beweisen konnten, daß ihr Besitz mit einem Zaun umgeben war. Das war natürlich niemals der Fall und wahrscheinlich werden viele Siedler auf diese Weise ihren Viehbestand „vergrößert“ haben. Ein solcher „Zuwachs“ wurde bei einem Getränk gefeiert, dem man mit verständnisvollen Hintergedanken den Namen „Stone-Fence“ gegeben hatte.“[9-313]
Another interpretation says that the Dutch living in New York were the inventors of the drink, and called it “Stone-Face”. [10-81]
There is also a suggestion that Stone Fence was named much later after a person who dealt in looted diamonds. [3]
The Stone Fence comes from a long tradition. Not only Apple Jack was mixed with cider, but also other spirits: In 1759, Israel Acrelius wrote in his “History of New Sweden”, which lay in what are now the states of Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, [21][22] that a drink called ‘Sampson’ was a warmed cider with rum in it. [23-162]
Applejack
Originally, Stone Fence was made from cider and Applejack. [10-81] However, as early as 1864 it was stated that any spirit could be used for a Stone Fence. [7-274]
Applejack is a spirit made from apples, now always made from apple eau de vie. Applejack was most popular in the British colonies in North America, especially in the Northeastern and Northern Midwestern states. Apples were common everywhere, and an applejack could easily be made from them. In some cases, applejack was distilled from cider, but usually it was made by freezing cider in winter. This process is called “freeze distillation”, or “jacking”. The latter name comes from the verb “to jack”, which means “to raise”, because the alcohol content was raised by this process: cider was stored outside in winter. The water contained in it froze and the resulting ice was collected from the surface of the cider. In this way, the alcohol content of the cider increased throughout the winter. [11]
This way of making applejack was not very reliable and the result had a highly variable quality. That is why applejack had the reputation early on of tasting bad, endangering health and leading to severe intoxication. This is due to the fact that not only ethanol, but also methanol and fusel substances were concentrated during the winter. [11][12]
After stills and more professional methods of producing spirits became available in the American colonies, applejack lost importance relatively quickly, especially since it was more expensive to produce than whiskey. [11][12] As a result, from the middle of the 19th century in particular, applejack and also cider were increasingly displaced [12] and most recipes use whiskey.
Applejack was originally an important product in the American colonies. Wine could not be grown, nor could hops and barley. Wines and brandies imported from Europe were unaffordable for the average colonist. But people were thirsty and, fortunately, they had apples. Apple growing in America began as early as 1630. An orchard was part of every good homestead, and the apples harvested were mainly used to make a cider. It was also known that the alcohol content could be increased during the winter by removing the ice that formed on the cider. So the combination of applejack and cider was something obvious, and the two ingredients for Stone Fence were readily producible on practically any farm. [14]
The first place where Applejack was produced in large quantities was New Jersey. [11] Interestingly, the oldest liquor manufacturer in the USA is Laird & Company from New Jersey. It obtained distilling licence number 1 in 1780. It started commercial production in that year at the latest. However, there are records showing that applejack had been produced by the Laird family as early as 1698. [11][13] Until recently, this company was the only remaining producer of Applejack in the world. [12]
The commercial production of Applejack was promising and by the 1830s there were almost 400 professional Applejack distilleries in New Jersey. [14] Applejack was also called “Jersey Lightning” and was extremely popular in the eastern United States. It was not only drunk straight, but also in a modified form, for example as “scotchem”, a mixture of Applejack and hot water, seasoned with a little mustard, [14] or even diluted with cider.
Unfortunately, Laird’s regular Applejack is no longer made like it used to be. It now consists of only 35% apple brandy. The remaining 65% consists of neutral alcohol. [11][14] We also tried a product from the company that is 100% apple brandy, but the long, twelve-year maturation in the barrel meant that there were practically no apple notes left. We therefore decided to switch to Calvados.
For Calvados we had established that it was originally an unaged distillate. Could the same be true for Applejack? There is much to be said for it. A story published in 1909 tells of “colourless applejack”. [17-331] The Encyclopedia Americana writes: “A strongly fermented cider produced by distillation is called cider brandy or applejack, historically a “hard” beverage of pioneer days. This contains a large percentage of alcohol.” [18-673]
There is no mention of barrel ageing here. Also, a dictionary of common words describes ‘Apple Jack‘ only as “Apple brandy, a liquor distilled from cider“.[19-27]
A manual from 1889 is even clearer. It states: “APPLE JACK — New Jersey name for apple brandy; it is plentiful in most of the eastern states, is generally cheaper than any other spirit and serves a good purpose in cooking, for sauces and for making flavoring extracts. CIDRE ROYAL or EAU DE VIE DE CIDRE — French name for apple jack. “It is the favorite spirit drunk in Normandy; it is also called Calvados, and generally known as such by the Parisians, being chiefly made by the apple-growers in the Calvados department.”” [20-239]
These exemplarily selected sources may be proof enough that Apple Jack was also unaged in the past. One would have to investigate when it became customary to age Apple Jack in barrels instead. It would be interesting to do more research on this.
Analysis of the historical recipes
In order to understand exactly what characterises a Stone Fence, we will now analyse the historical recipes that we have reproduced in the appendix.
Stone Fence – Spirits.
The first question is which base spirit to use. Originally, Stone Fence was prepared with an Applejack. But already Jerry Thomas no longer uses it for the reasons mentioned before. As we can see, Applejack was rarely called for, on average only in 10 to 20 percent of the cases. Interestingly, from 1960 onwards it was no longer used at all. American whiskey was predominantly used, but sometimes also Irish or Scottish whiskey, but as was noted very early on, you can actually use any spirit. Cognac or even gin can also be found here and there. What conclusions can we draw from the data? A Stone Fence was originally made with Applejack, but for reasons of quality, cost and certainly also availability, it was decided to use an American whiskey. Alternatively, however, it is permissible to use other spirits. This is particularly evident in recipes from the 1960s onwards, when less than 50 per cent of recipes call for an American whiskey.
Stone Fence – Filler.
What about the second important ingredient, the filler? The recipes clearly show that cider was used originally and over a long period of time. Soda is also used occasionally, but it was only after Prohibition that cider was used less and less. Between 1934 and 1959, cider was still used to about 75 per cent, after that only less than 40 per cent. Instead, soda was increasingly used, and ginger ale or apple juice in about 10 percent of cases. This shows that a clear definition of what a stone fence is has been lost.
Stone Fence – Other ingredients.
The same can be seen in the use of other ingredients. There are recipes in which bitters, noyeau, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest or pineapple juice are added. However, all this does not belong in a Stone Fence. Up to 1941, about 80 percent of the recipes consist only of a base spirit and a filler, then it becomes less, and from 1960 it is only about 40 percent.
Stone Fence – Temperature.
Throughout the ages, there have also been recipes that either omitted the addition of ice – which probably corresponds to the original recipe, because who had ice on hand in the summer around 1775? Sometimes Stone Fence is also served hot. Especially then, we noticed, a little sugar is often added.
Stone Wall
Finally, we want to analyse whether Stone Fence and Stone Wall are really identical, as some authors claim. We will exclude the other ingredients that are suggested for a Stone Wall, similar to Stone Fence, and limit ourselves to spirits and fillers.
Stone Wall – Spirits.
Until 1881, a Stone Wall was always made with cognac. This clearly distinguishes it from Stone Fence, which essentially used whiskey. But over time, cognac is increasingly replaced by an American whiskey, and from 1942 even Applejack is used. The reason why we do not show any data from 1960 onwards is that we have found practically no recipes from this period.
Stone Wall – Filler.
Another difference to the Stone Fence is that, as the statistics show, a Stone Wall is quite clearly made with soda, whereas a Stone Fence uses cider.
So, in conclusion, a Stone Fence was originally made with Applejack and cider, but as early as the mid-19th century it was made with American whiskey and cider. A Stone Wall, on the other hand, is nothing more than a Brandy & Soda.

Stonewall is an admixture of cider, wine, brandy, &c., served with ice and a straw. The name of this liquor will remind the reader of the sobriquet bestowed on the celebrated Confederate general, whose untimely fate must be lamented, for he was the personification of the chivalrous people of the South, who are working out the poet’s axiom – “Who would be free themselves must strike the blow, By their right arm the conquest must be wrought.” The last words of this great, good, and lamented man (General Jackson), just before his death, were, “Bury me at Lexington, in the valley of Virginia;” and, in accordance with this sacred command, all that is mortal of the most renowned and successful mili- tary genius that the war, or probably modern ages, has produced, now lies interred within the walls of the Presbyterian cemetery, located in the south-western suburbs of this delightful village. Nothing marks the spot where his mortal remains lie to dis- tinguish his grave from that of others, save a diminutive Confederate flag, not larger than a lady’s handkerchief. This tiny emblem is fastened to a staff not mere than two feet long, and placed at the head of the grave; and there waves, as if to illustrate the modest pretensions of the great hero of the valley of Virginia. – New York Express.

Seite 124. Stone-Fence:
wörtlich der Steinzaun (Ein- friedigung); barfachlich; Be- zeichnung eines Getränkes. Die „Fences“ spielten in der Kolonisierungszeit in Amerika eine bedeutende Rolle. Die Indianer pflegten ihr Vieh frei herumlaufen zu lassen und dies gab den Anlaß da- zu, daß die Siedler Tiere, die sich in ihrem Besitz verliefen, einfingen und behielten. Vor dem Richter fanden die In- dianer nie Recht, wenn sie nicht beweisen konnten, daß ihr Besitz mit einem Zaun umgeben war. Das war natürlich niemals der Fall und wahrscheinlich werden viele Siedler auf diese Weise ihren Viehbestand „ver- größert“ haben. Ein solcher „Zuwachs“ wurde bei einem Getränk gefeiert, dem man mit verständnisvollen Hinter gedanken den Namen „Stone- Fence” gegeben hatte.

1 whiskey sweet cider 3 lumps ice Pour the jigger of whiskey in a tall glass, drop in the three lumps or cubes of ice and fill to the brim with the unfermented cider. All left to do is to stir and sip. Washington Irving, in his Diedrich Knickerbocker’s History of New York, claimed the Dutch-Americans were inventors of “sherry-cobbler” and “stone-face,” and in 1809 Irving also claimed that the original settlers of New Amsterdam were responsible for the naming of the “cocktail.” Why whiskey and sweet cider, joined in holy wetlock should figure under so unemotional a name as “stonefence” is matter for deliberation. One punster quips: “Drink enough and you’ll overcome all obstacles and never take offense.” Originally the name “stone-fence” was applied to an applejack and sweet cider combination, and those in the know will tell you that as sweet cider ferments it de- velops into applejack. However it may develop one thing is certain — it’s one of the hard liquors that is powerfully easy to take.

Seite 296. Cooler.
A Cooler is essentially a Horse’s Neck with a Kick (see page 273), although there are also Prohibition Coolers made with non-alcoholic ingredients. So far as I have been able to ascertain, the original Cooler was the Remsen Cooler and, while most modem recipe books indicate gin for the Remsen Cooler, this is incorrect. This Cooler derived its name from the fact that it was made with Remsen Scotch whisky, a brand no longer seen, at least in this country. The Cooler is served in a Collins glass decorated with the skin of a whole lemon or orange cut in a continuous spiral and hung over the edge of the glass exactly as in the Horse’s Neck. Sometimes both a lemon peel and an orange peel are used for decoration. Whereas the Horse’s Neck is made with ginger ale, the original Remsen Cooler was made with club soda. Today some Coolers are made with charged water and some with ginger ale. There are also Coolers made with other carbonated beverages, at least one or two made with cider, and some modem recipes even stoop to prescribing plain water. The Cooler should be very dry, but sugar can be used if desired and perhaps the best advice here is “sweeten according to taste.” If you want the drink to be thirst-quenching, refreshing, and satisfying, however, you must keep it definitely on the dry, side. The base of the Cooler may be a spirituous liquor, a wine, a liqueur, or even a fruit syrup. With sweet wines or liqueurs it is usually advisable to use a few dashes of lime or lemon juice, but this is optional. It is also optional whether or not to use bitters and how much.

Stonewall is an admixture of cider, wine, brandy, &c., served with ice and a straw. The name of this liquor will remind the reader of the sobriquet bestowed on the celebrated Confederate general, whose untimely fate must be lamented, for he was the personification of the chivalrous people of the South, who are working out the poet’s axiom – “Who would be free themselves must strike the blow, By their right arm the conquest must be wrought.” The last words of this great, good, and lamented man (General Jackson), just before his death, were, “Bury me at Lexington, in the valley of Virginia;” and, in accordance with this sacred command, all that is mortal of the most renowned and successful mili- tary genius that the war, or probably modern ages, has produced, now lies interred within the walls of the Presbyterian cemetery, located in the south-western suburbs of this delightful village. Nothing marks the spot where his mortal remains lie to dis- tinguish his grave from that of others, save a diminutive Confederate flag, not larger than a lady’s handkerchief. This tiny emblem is fastened to a staff not mere than two feet long, and placed at the head of the grave; and there waves, as if to illustrate the modest pretensions of the great hero of the valley of Virginia. – New York Express.

Every Saturday morning, of all respectable newsagents, in the pink paper, price — Pshaw! What am I thinking about ? This concoction is also known in America as “Stone Wall” (Why ?), and used to be known in Her Majesty’s dominions in Asia as a “Peg ” — simply because every dose swallowed was said to represent a peg in the coffin being manufactured for the swallower. It is unnecessary to give any recipe for this mixture, the proportion of the ingredients varying with the inclination, disposition, indis- position, state of health, or pocket, of the swallower. But above all let your ingredients be of the best. There is only one thing worse than bad brandy, and that is bad soda-water. Avoid the cheap stuff with the little glass stoppers, as you would the tipstaff.

A Cooler is essentially a Horse’s Neck with a Kick (see page 273), although there are also Prohibition Coolers made with non-alcoholic ingredients. So far as I have been able to ascertain, the original Cooler was the Remsen Cooler and, while most modem recipe books indicate gin for the Remsen Cooler, this is incorrect. This Cooler derived its name from the fact that it was made with Remsen Scotch whisky, a brand no longer seen, at least in this country. The Cooler is served in a Collins glass decorated with the skin of a whole lemon or orange cut in a continuous spiral and hung over the edge of the glass exactly as in the Horse’s Neck. Sometimes both a lemon peel and an orange peel are used for decoration. Whereas the Horse’s Neck is made with ginger ale, the original Remsen Cooler was made with club soda. Today some Coolers are made with charged water and some with ginger ale. There are also Coolers made with other carbonated beverages, at least one or two made with cider, and some modem recipes even stoop to prescribing plain water. The Cooler should be very dry, but sugar can be used if desired and perhaps the best advice here is “sweeten according to taste.” If you want the drink to be thirst-quenching, refreshing, and satisfying, however, you must keep it definitely on the dry, side. The base of the Cooler may be a spirituous liquor, a wine, a liqueur, or even a fruit syrup. With sweet wines or liqueurs it is usually advisable to use a few dashes of lime or lemon juice, but this is optional. It is also optional whether or not to use bitters and how much.

The Stone Fence, is a very old mixed drink. It is something like a Highball. Entstanden ist er jedoch lange bevor der Begriff „Highball“ geprägt wurde.
Jerry Thomas described it as early as 1862 and prepared it with bourbon whiskey. However, two years later in “The English and Australian Cookery Book” there is a reference to the fact that a Stone Wall or Stone Fence can be prepared with any kind of spirit. We will look at the exact recipe later.
Stone Fence was already an old drink in Jerry Thomas’ day. It was already around at the time of the American Revolution. [1-206] Legend has it that it was drunk for courage before the Battle of Ticonderoga in 1775. In that battle, a small force of Americans under the command of Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold succeeded on 10 May 1775 in taking Fort Ticonderoga, located in New York State, unexpectedly in a hand coup while the garrison of only two officers and 64 men slept. The Americans captured large supplies of gunpowder and ammunition, which they used in the siege of Boston. [1-205] [1-206] [2] [3] [4] [6] At the time, a Stone Fence was said to be a mixture of cider and New England rum. [1-206] [4] [5] [6]
This drink is also said to have been named “Stonewall” after the Confederate General Thomas Jonathan Jackson. During the First Battle of Bull Run on 21 July 1861, it was said, “Look at Jackson’s brigade! It stands there like a stone wall” – Thomas Jackson and later his brigade were thus given the nickname “Stonewall”. [7-274] [8]
However, as we will demonstrate below, a Stone Wall is different from a Stone Fence.
Es gibt auch die Erklärung, daß die Bezeichnung „Stone-Fence“ aus der Kolonisierungszeit Amerikas stamme: There is also the explanation that the term “stone fence” originates from the colonisation period of America: “The Indians used to let their cattle roam free and this gave rise to the settlers catching and keeping animals that strayed into their property. Before the judge, the Indians never found justice unless they could prove that their property was surrounded by a fence. This, of course, was never the case and probably many settlers will have “increased” their livestock in this way. Such an “increase” was celebrated over a drink which, with sympathetic ulterior motives, had been given the name “Stone-Fence”.” [9-313]
– „Die Indianer pflegten ihr Vieh frei herumlaufen zu lassen und dies gab den Anlaß dazu, daß die Siedler Tiere, die sich in ihrem Besitz verliefen, einfingen und behielten. Vor dem Richter fanden die Indianer nie Recht, wenn sie nicht beweisen konnten, daß ihr Besitz mit einem Zaun umgeben war. Das war natürlich niemals der Fall und wahrscheinlich werden viele Siedler auf diese Weise ihren Viehbestand „vergrößert“ haben. Ein solcher „Zuwachs“ wurde bei einem Getränk gefeiert, dem man mit verständnisvollen Hintergedanken den Namen „Stone-Fence“ gegeben hatte.“ [9-313]
Another interpretation says that the Dutch living in New York were the inventors of the drink, and called it “Stone-Face”. [10-81]
There is also a suggestion that Stone Fence was named much later after a person who dealt in looted diamonds. [3]
The Stone Fence comes from a long tradition. Not only Apple Jack was mixed with cider, but also other spirits: In 1759, Israel Acrelius wrote in his “History of New Sweden”, which lay in what are now the states of Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, [21] [22] that a drink called ‘Sampson’ was a warmed cider with rum in it. [23-162]
Applejack
Originally, Stone Fence was made from cider and Applejack. [10-81] However, as early as 1864 it was stated that any spirit could be used for a Stone Fence. [7-274]
Applejack is a spirit made from apples, now always made from apple eau de vie. Applejack was most popular in the British colonies in North America, especially in the Northeastern and Northern Midwestern states. Apples were common everywhere, and an applejack could easily be made from them. In some cases, applejack was distilled from cider, but usually it was made by freezing cider in winter. This process is called “freeze distillation”, or “jacking”. The latter name comes from the verb “to jack”, which means “to raise”, because the alcohol content was raised by this process: cider was stored outside in winter. The water contained in it froze and the resulting ice was collected from the surface of the cider. In this way, the alcohol content of the cider increased throughout the winter. [11]
This way of making applejack was not very reliable and the result had a highly variable quality. That is why applejack had the reputation early on of tasting bad, endangering health and leading to severe intoxication. This is due to the fact that not only ethanol, but also methanol and fusel substances were concentrated during the winter. [11] [12]
After stills and more professional methods of producing spirits became available in the American colonies, applejack lost importance relatively quickly, especially since it was more expensive to produce than whiskey. [11] [12] As a result, from the middle of the 19th century in particular, applejack and also cider were increasingly displaced [12] and most recipes use whiskey.
Applejack was originally an important product in the American colonies. Wine could not be grown, nor could hops and barley. Wines and brandies imported from Europe were unaffordable for the average colonist. But people were thirsty and, fortunately, they had apples. Apple growing in America began as early as 1630. An orchard was part of every good homestead, and the apples harvested were mainly used to make a cider. It was also known that the alcohol content could be increased during the winter by removing the ice that formed on the cider. So the combination of applejack and cider was something obvious, and the two ingredients for Stone Fence were readily producible on practically any farm. [14]
The first place where Applejack was produced in large quantities was New Jersey. [11] Interestingly, the oldest liquor manufacturer in the USA is Laird & Company from New Jersey. It obtained distilling licence number 1 in 1780. It started commercial production in that year at the latest. However, there are records showing that applejack had been produced by the Laird family as early as 1698. [11] [13] Until recently, this company was the only remaining producer of Applejack in the world. [12]
The commercial production of Applejack was promising and by the 1830s there were almost 400 professional Applejack distilleries in New Jersey. [14] Applejack was also called “Jersey Lightning” and was extremely popular in the eastern United States. It was not only drunk straight, but also in a modified form, for example as “scotchem”, a mixture of Applejack and hot water, seasoned with a little mustard, [14] or even diluted with cider.
Unfortunately, Laird’s regular Applejack is no longer made like it used to be. It now consists of only 35% apple brandy. The remaining 65% consists of neutral alcohol. [11] [14] We also tried a product from the company that is 100% apple brandy, but the long, twelve-year maturation in the barrel meant that there were practically no apple notes left. We therefore decided to switch to Calvados.
For Calvados we had established that it was originally an unaged distillate. Could the same be true for Applejack? There is much to be said for it. A story published in 1909 tells of “colourless applejack”. [17-331] The Encyclopedia Americana writes: “A strongly fermented cider produced by distillation is called cider brandy or applejack, historically a “hard” beverage of pioneer days. This contains a large percentage of alcohol.” [18-673]
There is no mention of barrel ageing here. Also, a dictionary of common words describes ‘Apple Jack‘ only as “Apple brandy, a liquor distilled from cider“.[19-27]
A manual from 1889 is even clearer. It states: “APPLE JACK — New Jersey name for apple brandy; it is plentiful in most of the eastern states, is generally cheaper than any other spirit and serves a good purpose in cooking, for sauces and for making flavoring extracts. CIDRE ROYAL or EAU DE VIE DE CIDRE — French name for apple jack. “It is the favorite spirit drunk in Normandy; it is also called Calvados, and generally known as such by the Parisians, being chiefly made by the apple-growers in the Calvados department.”” [20-239]
These exemplarily selected sources may be proof enough that Apple Jack was also unaged in the past. One would have to investigate when it became customary to age Apple Jack in barrels instead. It would be interesting to do more research on this.
Analysis of the historical recipes
In order to understand exactly what characterises a Stone Fence, we will now analyse the historical recipes that we have reproduced in the appendix.
The first question is which base spirit to use. Originally, Stone Fence was prepared with an Applejack. But already Jerry Thomas no longer uses it for the reasons mentioned before. As we can see, Applejack was rarely called for, on average only in 10 to 20 percent of the cases. Interestingly, from 1960 onwards it was no longer used at all. American whiskey was predominantly used, but sometimes also Irish or Scottish whiskey, but as was noted very early on, you can actually use any spirit. Cognac or even gin can also be found here and there. What conclusions can we draw from the data? A Stone Fence was originally made with Applejack, but for reasons of quality, cost and certainly also availability, it was decided to use an American whiskey. Alternatively, however, it is permissible to use other spirits. This is particularly evident in recipes from the 1960s onwards, when less than 50 per cent of recipes call for an American whiskey.
What about the second important ingredient, the filler? The recipes clearly show that cider was used originally and over a long period of time. Soda is also used occasionally, but it was only after Prohibition that cider was used less and less. Between 1934 and 1959, cider was still used to about 75 per cent, after that only less than 40 per cent. Instead, soda was increasingly used, and ginger ale or apple juice in about 10 percent of cases. This shows that a clear definition of what a stone fence is has been lost.
The same can be seen in the use of other ingredients. There are recipes in which bitters, noyeau, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest or pineapple juice are added. However, all this does not belong in a Stone Fence. Up to 1941, about 80 percent of the recipes consist only of a base spirit and a filler, then it becomes less, and from 1960 it is only about 40 percent.
Throughout the ages, there have also been recipes that either omitted the addition of ice – which probably corresponds to the original recipe, because who had ice on hand in the summer around 1775? Sometimes Stone Fence is also served hot. Especially then, we noticed, a little sugar is often added.
Stone Wall
Finally, we want to analyse whether Stone Fence and Stone Wall are really identical, as some authors claim. We will exclude the other ingredients that are suggested for a Stone Wall, similar to Stone Fence, and limit ourselves to spirits and fillers.
Until 1881, a Stone Wall was always made with cognac. This clearly distinguishes it from Stone Fence, which essentially used whiskey. But over time, cognac is increasingly replaced by an American whiskey, and from 1942 even Applejack is used. The reason why we do not show any data from 1960 onwards is that we have found practically no recipes from this period.
Another difference to the Stone Fence is that, as the statistics show, a Stone Wall is quite clearly made with soda, whereas a Stone Fence uses cider.
So, in conclusion, a Stone Fence was originally made with Applejack and cider, but as early as the mid-19th century it was made with American whiskey and cider. A Stone Wall, on the other hand, is nothing more than a Brandy & Soda.

celebrated Confederate general, whose untimely fate must be lamented, for he was the
personification of the chivalrous people of the South, who are working out the poet’s
axiom –
“Who would be free themselves must strike the blow,
By their right arm the conquest must be wrought.”
The last words of this great, good, and lamented man (General Jackson), just before
his death, were, “Bury me at Lexington, in the valley of Virginia;” and, in accordance
with this sacred command, all that is mortal of the most renowned and successful mili-
tary genius that the war, or probably modern ages, has produced, now lies interred
within the walls of the Presbyterian cemetery, located in the south-western suburbs of
this delightful village. Nothing marks the spot where his mortal remains lie to dis-
tinguish his grave from that of others, save a diminutive Confederate flag, not larger
than a lady’s handkerchief. This tiny emblem is fastened to a staff not mere than two
feet long, and placed at the head of the grave; and there waves, as if to illustrate the
modest pretensions of the great hero of the valley of Virginia. – New York Express.

certain combinations which were not unpleasant to drink but which gave
you a terrible headache and sickness the next day. Whiskey and blackberry
brandy was one of these mixtures to avoid.

Die „Fences“ spielten in der
Kolonisierungszeit in Amerika
eine bedeutende Rolle. Die
Indianer pflegten ihr Vieh
frei herumlaufen zu lassen
und dies gab den Anlaß da-
zu, daß die Siedler Tiere, die
sich in ihrem Besitz verliefen,
einfingen und behielten. Vor
dem Richter fanden die In-
dianer nie Recht, wenn sie
nicht beweisen konnten,
daß ihr Besitz mit einem
Zaun umgeben war.
Das war natürlich niemals der Fall
und wahrscheinlich werden
viele Siedler auf diese Weise
ihren Viehbestand „ver-
größert“ haben. Ein solcher
„Zuwachs“ wurde bei einem
Getränk gefeiert, dem man
mit verständnisvollen Hinter
gedanken den Namen „Stone-
Fence” gegeben hatte.

Washington Irving, in his Diedrich Knickerbocker’s
History of New York, claimed the Dutch-Americans
were inventors of “sherry-cobbler” and “stone-face,” and
in 1809 Irving also claimed that the original settlers of
New Amsterdam were responsible for the naming of the
“cocktail.”
Why whiskey and sweet cider, joined in holy wetlock
should figure under so unemotional a name as “stonefence”
is matter for deliberation. One punster quips:
“Drink enough and you’ll overcome all obstacles and
never take offense.”
Originally the name “stone-fence” was applied to an
applejack and sweet cider combination, and those in the
know will tell you that as sweet cider ferments it de-
velops into applejack.
However it may develop one thing is certain — it’s one
of the hard liquors that is powerfully easy to take.

Seite 296. Cooler.
A Cooler is essentially a Horse’s Neck with a Kick (see page 273),
although there are also Prohibition Coolers made with non-alcoholic
ingredients. So far as I have been able to ascertain, the original Cooler
was the Remsen Cooler and, while most modem recipe books indicate
gin for the Remsen Cooler, this is incorrect. This Cooler derived its
name from the fact that it was made with Remsen Scotch whisky, a
brand no longer seen, at least in this country.
The Cooler is served in a Collins glass decorated with the skin of
a whole lemon or orange cut in a continuous spiral and hung over the
edge of the glass exactly as in the Horse’s Neck. Sometimes both a
lemon peel and an orange peel are used for decoration.
Whereas the Horse’s Neck is made with ginger ale, the original
Remsen Cooler was made with club soda. Today some Coolers are
made with charged water and some with ginger ale. There are also
Coolers made with other carbonated beverages, at least one or two
made with cider, and some modem recipes even stoop to prescribing
plain water. The Cooler should be very dry, but sugar can be used if
desired and perhaps the best advice here is “sweeten according to taste.”
If you want the drink to be thirst-quenching, refreshing, and satisfying,
however, you must keep it definitely on the dry, side. The base of the
Cooler may be a spirituous liquor, a wine, a liqueur, or even a fruit
syrup. With sweet wines or liqueurs it is usually advisable to use a
few dashes of lime or lemon juice, but this is optional. It is also optional
whether or not to use bitters and how much.

Stonewall is an admixture of cider, wine, brandy, &c., served with
ice and a straw.
The name of this liquor will remind the reader of the sobriquet bestowed on the
celebrated Confederate general, whose untimely fate must be lamented, for he was the
personification of the chivalrous people of the South, who are working out the poet’s
axiom –
“Who would be free themselves must strike the blow,
By their right arm the conquest must be wrought.”
The last words of this great, good, and lamented man (General Jackson), just before
his death, were, “Bury me at Lexington, in the valley of Virginia;” and, in accordance
with this sacred command, all that is mortal of the most renowned and successful mili-
tary genius that the war, or probably modern ages, has produced, now lies interred
within the walls of the Presbyterian cemetery, located in the south-western suburbs of
this delightful village. Nothing marks the spot where his mortal remains lie to dis-
tinguish his grave from that of others, save a diminutive Confederate flag, not larger
than a lady’s handkerchief. This tiny emblem is fastened to a staff not mere than two
feet long, and placed at the head of the grave; and there waves, as if to illustrate the
modest pretensions of the great hero of the valley of Virginia. – New York Express.

Every Saturday morning, of all respectable
newsagents, in the pink paper, price — Pshaw!
What am I thinking about ? This concoction
is also known in America as “Stone Wall”
(Why ?), and used to be known in Her Majesty’s
dominions in Asia as a “Peg ” — simply because
every dose swallowed was said to represent a
peg in the coffin being manufactured for the
swallower. It is unnecessary to give any recipe
for this mixture, the proportion of the ingredients
varying with the inclination, disposition, indis-
position, state of health, or pocket, of the
swallower. But above all let your ingredients
be of the best. There is only one thing worse
than bad brandy, and that is bad soda-water.
Avoid the cheap stuff with the little glass
stoppers, as you would the tipstaff.

for the liquor used, these are made exactly like the Remsen Cooler.

296. Cooler.
A Cooler is essentially a Horse’s Neck with a Kick (see page 273),
although there are also Prohibition Coolers made with non-alcoholic
ingredients. So far as I have been able to ascertain, the original Cooler
was the Remsen Cooler and, while most modem recipe books indicate
gin for the Remsen Cooler, this is incorrect. This Cooler derived its
name from the fact that it was made with Remsen Scotch whisky, a
brand no longer seen, at least in this country.
The Cooler is served in a Collins glass decorated with the skin of
a whole lemon or orange cut in a continuous spiral and hung over the
edge of the glass exactly as in the Horse’s Neck. Sometimes both a
lemon peel and an orange peel are used for decoration.
Whereas the Horse’s Neck is made with ginger ale, the original
Remsen Cooler was made with club soda. Today some Coolers are
made with charged water and some with ginger ale. There are also
Coolers made with other carbonated beverages, at least one or two
made with cider, and some modem recipes even stoop to prescribing
plain water. The Cooler should be very dry, but sugar can be used if
desired and perhaps the best advice here is “sweeten according to taste.”
If you want the drink to be thirst-quenching, refreshing, and satisfying,
however, you must keep it definitely on the dry, side. The base of the
Cooler may be a spirituous liquor, a wine, a liqueur, or even a fruit
syrup. With sweet wines or liqueurs it is usually advisable to use a
few dashes of lime or lemon juice, but this is optional. It is also optional
whether or not to use bitters and how much.
