HERE are several -ways of mixing a
cocktail. Some prefer to shake it thor
oughly; by doing this it is. made very cold.
The best -way to make a cocktail in a mixing
glass is to stir it -with a fork rather than
-with a spoon. By this method the ice is
melted faster, cooking the liquorfasUr, and.
dihiting it a little more.
is quite customary, in serving a dry
cocktail, to put an olive, preferably stoned, in
the glass. With a sweeter one a maraschino
cherry, or a smallpreserved orange is gener
ally given.
