VERMOUTH COCKTAIL.
Into a small mixing-glass place some cracked ice, two dashes of Orange
bitters, two drops of Angostura bitters, three-quarters of a jiggerful of
French vermouth and one-quarter of a jiggerful of Italian vermouth; stir
thoroughly, strain into a chilled cocktail-glass, twist a piece of lemon peel
over the top and serve with ice water on the side.
Should one desire to brew a cocktail with one kind of vermouth, French
vermouth should always be used, and a !ittle toddy-water may be added to
it if the beverage is not to be dry. Italian vermouth should never be used
alone in a vermouth cocktail as it is not adapted to that purpose.
NOTE.-In making a Vermouth Cocktail of two kinds of vermouth, a cherry
or a berry may be used to decorate; but in making a French Vermouth Cock–
tail fruit should never be used, but an olive, a pimola or French hazelnuts
may be added.
