CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL
One glass of wine, two dashes of Angostura bitters, and two bits of lemon peel.
Put the bitters and lemon peel in the glass first, then pour in the wine, after
which put in one small spoonful of sugar, and stir.
MINT JULEPS. MADE OF WHISKEY, BRANDY, GIN, ETC., ETC.
One-half tablespoonful of powdered sugar, one wineglass of water, one of
whiskey, brandy or gin, etc., and one-half dozen sprigs of mint. Use plenty of
fine ice, and decorate with strawberries and pineapples, or any fruit in season.
SQUIRTS--Use Large Glasses
Whiskey, brandy, gin, white wine, claret or catawba make good "squirts." Fill
the glass half full of fine ice, put in one tablespoonful of white sugar, a
little raspberry syrup, strawberries and pineapple; pour in your liquor, and
fill up with seltzer water. Stir all rapidly.
HOW TO MIX ABSINTHE IN EVERY STYLE
Plain absinthe; half a sherry glass of absinthe; plenty of fine ice, with about
two wineglassfuls of water. Put in the water, drop by drop, on top of absinthe
and ice; stir well, but slowly. It takes time to make it good.
