Fill the goblet again; for I never before
Felt the glow which now gladdens my heart to its core.
Let us drink; who would noH
~ince
through life's varied round
In the goblet alone no deception is found.-Byron.
HILLYCROFT· COOLER.
76
Peel a lemon so that it
will
curl in the form of a cone, and after having
pressed the oil out of part of the peel, just to spray the glass a little, you
place the cone inverted in a long, thin glass and
fill
up with fine cracked ice.
Some people put a little lemon juice in, but tha t detracts. Then you add a
jigger of Old ToP1 gin. Let this lie for a minute. All you have to do now
is to fill up the ginss with imported ginger ale and smile.

Into a small mixing-glass place a dessertspoonful of sugar, the juice of
two lemons, one raw egg and a jigger of cognac. Shake well with two or
three lumps of ice, pour into a large goblet, fill up with ginger ale, stir,
decorate and serve with straws.
REMSEN COOLER.
78
Some years ago the la te Wm. Remsen, a retired naval officer and a
popular member of the Union Club, New York, introduced a beverage to the
members of that swell organization which has since taken his name and is
now known to all clubmen by the appellation of ''Remsen Cooler.'' The
following
is
the correct recipe:.--
Pare a lemon (a lime will not answer the purpose) as you would an
apple, so that the peel
will
resemble a corkscrew, place the rind in a long,
thin glass and pour over it a full jigger of Old Tom cordial gin; with a
bar-spoon now press the peel and stir it thoroughly, so the liquor will be
well flavored with the essence of the skin and fill the glass with plain soda
off the ice. English Club soda is highly recommended for this drink. Be sure
the soda is cold.
