Just my opinion, but I definately would not include those last three on a list
of "Classic" cocktails.
Some other possible additions:
Champagne Cocktail, Clover Club, Commodore, Derby, French 75, Jack Rose, Kir
Royale, Mai Tai (yeah, I know, you said no tropical drinks), Mint Julep,
Negroni, Pimm's Cup, Planters Punch, Ramos Gin Fizz, Sidecar, Twentieth
Century Cocktail, Vesper, Whiskey Sour.
