SIDE CAR COCKTAIL

This cocktail, to our knowledg_e, is only eight or

ten years old (according to Bob in Harry's ·New

York Bar) but it has done more to boost Paris to

Americans than any other drink. A few drops of

this gentle French nitro-glycerine, and even the

Eiffel Tower bends to acknowledge your visit

SIDNEY COCKTAIL

Sent to us by the

D~rector

of the Grand Hotel

Central of The Hague, Holland. Be sparing with

that Chartreuse, and don't say you weren't warned!

In Holland some people take to drinking this one

out of a wooden shoe. Wooden shoe like it?
