Description:
Pussyfoot is a historic alcohol-free cocktail made with citrus juices, grenadine, mint, and egg yolk. It stands apart from simple fizzy mocktails: the yolk gives body and a soft texture, while citrus keeps the drink fresh. According to Difford’s Guide, the drink was created by Robert Vermeire in 1920 at the Embassy Club in London. The name refers to William Eugene Johnson, a prominent Prohibition supporter nicknamed Pussyfoot. It is a rare example of an older alcohol-free bar recipe that does not try to imitate a spirit-based cocktail, but instead relies on texture and fruit-citrus balance.
