Eat, Drin\and Be Merry!
SOCIETY—there's luck! These cocktails are your
own. Consequently they are of the best. In the
group you will recognize many of your friends' old
favorites and many new and
Dtdmulati.ngconcoc
tions. The book has grown out of yoirr need for
just such an aid to entertainment. The editor of
About Town started it with a single cocktail recipe
in the Christmas number. And what a "wow" was
in that cocktail! Immediately there came requests
for more cocktails which led to questions regard
ing drinks and midnight supper dishes. So the editor
gathered her wits and requests together and broad
cast for help. Friends and readers of About Town
came to the rescue, favorite recipes poured in, were
shaken into type, were well mixed and are yours in
this container.
It's up to you to get the kick!
Joe Pitchett, bar steward of the Vancouver Club,
whose reputation as a mixer of drinks is nation
wide, has not only been kind enough to check every
single recipe for us but has added many of his own
special and excellent cocktails. For which we are
truly thankful, and so you will be when you taste
them.
We are also very grateful to Antoine Bernhart,
chef of the Hotel Vancouver,for his generous assist
ance and his many delicious midnight supper con
tributions.
