Look out for this one. You are liable to get bit on the way back!

have been added;
2 dashes Maraschino
1 dash of Angostura Bitters *
/
1/6 gill of Gin
'
1/6 gill of French Vermouth
1/6 gill of Italian Vermouth ''f "
Stir up well, strain into a cocktail glass, add a cherry and
lemon-peel squeezed on the top.
BOTTLED
READYtMADE cocktails are never quite the same as freshly
made ones, yet there often isn't time to shake up a mix before
rushing out to dinner. In this case a bottle of home-made cocktails
is a pretty nice thing to have on hand. Here it is:
Pour a quart of Whisky into a pitcher and add:
1 jigger rum syrup
1 pony Curacoa
% pony Angostura Bitters
Pour back and forth from one measure to another until the
liquid is thoroughly mixed'. Then bottle and cork.
