THB BARTENDER'S GUIDB AND ·soNG

BOOK

ADDISON

This used to be one of the best before dinner, of

a balmy evening. It was tried particularly on

strangers, and if it didn't warm the cockles of

their hearts to the value of a good host, we didn 't

know our Addisons.

ADMIRAL

Nothing under a two-striper rated this one, and

after two rounds you would all feel like Admirals

anyway. An excellent way to celebrate when the

fleet's in, or when the fleet's out, or when the fleet's

sunk. Anyway, an excellent way to celebrate.

rich, creamy sweetness made it seem as though

you were drinking nothing more than a simple

chocolate ice cream soda.

ALEXANDER SUBSTITUTE

A marvelous substitute fo r those who didn ' t d rink.

For it worked just as well as real liquor did. Two

was plenty- and don't say we didn't warn yo:u.
