Knickerbocker

Knickerbocker.

Den Knickerbocker gibt es seit über 160 Jahren. Auch wenn er nicht mehr so allgegenwärtig ist wie einst, ist er keinesfalls angestaubt. Er verdient es, wieder so populär zu werden, wie er einst war.

Der Knickerbocker ist ein alter Klassiker, der mit seinen Zutaten Rum, Limettensaft, Sirup und Likör, serviert auf gestoßenem Eis, durchaus als Vorläufer der Tiki-Drinks betrachtet werden kann. Er ist quasi der Mai Tai der 1850er Jahre. [4]

Erstmals wird ein Mischgetränk namens ›Knickerbocker‹ im Jahr 1843 auf einer Getränkekarte der Concert Hall in Boston erwähnt; Peter Brigham bot ihn darauf an. [4] [14-405] In einer Anzeige der Baltimore Sun vom 19. Oktober 1852 wird er beworben. [9]

In einer Autobiographie, die im Jahr 1859 erschien, berichtet der Autor über seine Zeit in Paris. Er verweist auf den 11. Dezember 1848, als Louis Napoleon Bonaparte die erste Präsidentschaftswahl in der Geschichte Frankreichs gewann; mit dem Staatsstreich vom 2. Dezember 1851 errichtete dieser dann eine Diktatur und proklamierte sich 1852 zum Kaiser und Frankreich zum Zweiten Kaiserreich. Irgendwann zwischen 1852 und 1859 muß sich der Autor also in Paris befunden haben, und er berichtet: »Ich war zu dieser Zeit in Paris. Das Restaurant Leblond, 10, Boulevard des Italiens, ist ein prächtiger Ort; hier werden alle Arten amerikanischer Getränke hergestellt, wie Night Cap Cocktail, Pig and Whistle dito, Egg Nogg, Silver Top, Knickerbocker, Ching-ching, Brandy Smash, Poney Punch, &c., &c., von denen einige herrlich sprudelnde Getränke sind.« [15-108] [16]

– »To the Pale ale loving English, for it is in every John Bull’s mouth you meet, let me speak of the American shades, 50, Rue Rivoli, kept by Mrs. Prior, who is civility itdels, and keeps some fine Clarets and other wines, and our celebrated Bass, but only in quarts; I have sat in that snug little parlour, with some „bon vivants de Paris,“ while 70,000 of the French army have paid „salaam“ to the Emperor Napoleon, and memory has brought out in bold relief the „Coup d’Etât,“ and 11th December 1848!! I was in Paris at that time. The restaurant Leblond, 1o, Boulevard des Italiens, is a splendid place; here they make all kinds of American drinks, such as Night Cap Cocktail, Pig and Whistle ditto, Egg Nogg, Silver Top, Knickerbocker, Ching-ching, Brandy Smash, Poney Punch, &c., &c., some of which are delightfully effervescing drinks.« [15-108]

Der Knickerbocker verbreitete sich und war in den 1850er Jahren in den USA, Kanada, London und sogar in Paris erhältlich. Aus dieser Zeit liegt uns jedoch keine Rezeptur vor. Die erste gedruckte Rezeptur erscheint erstmals bei Jerry Thomas in seinem Buch ›How to Mix Drinks, or The Bon Vivant’s Companion‹. Da von anbeginn an verschiedene Rezepte im Umlauf sind, wissen wir nicht, welche dem des Peter Brigham am ähnlichsten ist. Jedenfalls versteht man heute die Rezeptur von Jerry Thomas als den etablierten Standard: [14-405]

Knickerbocker (Jerry Thomas, 1862)

(Use a small bar glass)
1/2 a lime, or lemon, squeeze out the juice, and put rind
and juice in the glass.
2 teaspoonfuls of raspberry syrup.
1 wine-glass Santa Cruz rum.
1/2 teaspoonful of Curaçoa.
Cool with shaved ice; shake up well, and ornament
with berries in season. If this is not sweet enough, put in
a little more raspberry syrup;

Wer den Knickerbocker erfunden hat, und woher er stammt, läßt sich nicht mehr feststellen. Wahrscheinlich stammt er jedoch aus New York, denn dort war der Begriff „Knickerbocker“ in aller Munde und Bezeichnung für die verschiedensten Dinge. [4]

Sein Name stammt aus der Satire „A History of New York“, die 1809 von Washington Irving unter dem Pseudonym Diedrich Knickerbocker veröffentlicht wurde. Die Hauptfigur heißt Jensen Knickerbocker, und die Satire beschreibt die ersten Siedler New Yorks, damals noch Nieuw Amsterdam genannt. Sie kamen aus Holland und trugen wadenlange „Schlumperhosen“. Diese „knee-breeches“, eine Art Kniebundhose, wurden in den 1850er Jahren auch Knickerbocker genannt; ebenso verstand man darunter ein niederländisch-stämmiges Mitglied der New Yorker Aristokratie mit seinem altertümlichen Verhalten, und der Name wurde zum Spitznamen für New Yorker Patrizier.

Den Namen „Knickerbocker“ übernahm Washington Irving von seinem Freund Herman Knickerbacker (1779-1855), einem Urenkel von Harmen Jansen van Wijhe (um 1650 – um 1720) und änderte ihn in Knickerbocker ab. Harmen Jansen stammt von der Familie van Wye, nennt sich in der Neuen Welt auch van Bommel, da Bommel der Ort ist, aus dem er stammte. Selber unterschreibt er 1882 auch mit Hermen Jansen van Wyekycback(e). 1682 wird er auch mit dem Nachnamen Kinnekerbacker geführt. In den Folgejahren gibt es zahlreiche alternative Schreibweisen wie Knickelbacker, Knickerbacker Van Wyye, Kinckerbacker,  Nyckbacker oder Kynckbacker. Mit dem Erfolg von Washington Irvings Buch nahmen einige Familienmitglieder dann den Namen Knickerbocker an. [5] [6] [7] [8] [11] [12] [13]

Der Drink erhielt seinen Namen vielleicht nach Diedrich Knickerbocker. Vielleicht auch nach dem Spitznamen der New Yorker Patrizier, vielleicht nach dem 1811 gegründeten Knickerbocker Bootsclub, vielleicht nach dem 1845 gegründeten Knickerbocker Base Ball Club. Es gibt jedoch auch eine weitere Möglichkeit: Der Knickerbocker gehört zu den „lesser punches“, er ist ein „kleinerer“ Punch, der im Glas und für nur eine Person hergestellt wird. Es kann also auch sein, daß dieser „verkürzte“ Punch in Anspielung auf die in den 1850er Jahren populären, ebenfalls „verkürzten“ wadenlangen Hosen, die in dieser Zeit auch als „Knickerbocker“ bezeichnet wurden, diesen Namen erhielt. [4] [9]

Jedenfalls war der Knickerbocker-Drink in den 1850er und 1860er Jahren überaus populär. [4] Auch wenn er in den Jahren danach nicht mehr so allgegenwärtig war, war er doch, wie die Rezeptsammlung zeigt, zu allen Zeiten präsent.

Die Rezepte sind dabei erstaunlich konstant geblieben. Zwar finden sich gelegentlich Drinks mit dem Namen „Knickerbocker“, die nichts mit dem Original zu tun haben, doch diese sind eindeutig in der Minderheit. Überwiegend wird Santa Cruz oder St. Croix Rum empfohlen, und wie wir in eigenen Verkostungen festgestellt haben, ist dieser Rum in der Tat optimal für einen Knickerbocker geeignet. Der ansonsten auch oft aufgeführte Jamaika-Rum ist zu dominant. Ab den 1920er Jahren wird gerne auch Orangensaft hinzugegeben. Klassisch wird der Drink auf gestoßenem Eis mit Strohhalm und – ganz ein Drink der 1850er und 1860er Jahre – mit einer reichhaltigen Dekoration an Früchten garniert. In Ermangelung an gestoßenem Eis, und weil wir den Aufwand scheuen, es herzustellen, verwenden wir kleine Eiswürfelchen von ca. 1 cm Kantenlänge, was übrigens sehr gut funktioniert.

Falls Ihr den Knickerbocker noch nicht kennt: Versucht ihn einmal! Nach wie vor gilt das, was in der „New York World“ 1882 geschrieben wurde: „in the resume of what is good to drink in the summer-time the Knickerbocker should not be forgotten.“ Vergeßt also nicht, wie gut ein Knickerbocker im Sommer mundet – doch auch im Winter ist nichts daran auszusetzen.

Hallo, ich bin Armin, und in meiner Freizeit als Blogger, freier Journalist und Bildungstrinker möchte ich die Barkultur fördern.

Falls ich einmal eine Dir bekannte Quelle nicht berücksichtigt habe, und Du der Meinung bist, diese müsse berücksichtigt werden, freue ich mich schon darauf, diese von Dir zu erfahren, um etwas Neues zu lernen.
