AUTHOR'S PREFACE
How to Obtain the Best Results
In compiling the recipes for mixed drinks
that appear in this book, it has been my aim
to satisfy the palate of the most critical con
noisseur.
It should be understood, however, that no
matter whether these drinks be made at the
club, cafe, or your private house, it is only by
using the best quality of goods that proper and
satisfactory results can be obtained.
Sugar, bitters, fruit juices, etc., are great
ugents of assistance in producing a palatable
drink, even out of inferior whiskeys, gins and
l,fandies; but the host who considers the wel
fare of his guests serves only the drinks that
^ill have the proper after effects, hence will
^,0 very particular to have all ingredients of
the very best quality.
