VERMOUTH FRAPPE.

Fill

of the desired brand of vermouth, shake thoroughly, strain into small cut bar–

glass and serve.

With grammar and nonsense and learning;

G.ood liquor, I stoutly maintain,

Gives genius a better discerning.-Goldsmith.

In making hot drinks always use the thinnest of glassware of uniform

thickness and P!ace a spoon in the glass before pouring in the hot water; then

you will never be troubled with breakage.

Rinse out your glass with boiling water before commencing to make

a hot drink. This enables one to serve the beverage much hotter.

Should you ever have occasion to cool a hot drink, never put a piece of

ice into it, as this impairs the flavor. By pouring the decoction backward

and forward a few times in cool glasses the desired temperature

will

be

attained in a few moments.

Before pouring liquor into a hot drink always see that the sugar is

thoroughly dissolved, because it is a difficu lt matter to dissolve it afterwards.

Never set a hot drink on a polished bar top without a saucer or a clean

napkin under

it,

as

it

will

surely leave a bad mark unless a stem glass i s

used for the beverage.
