CHAPTER VIII

HOT DRINKS FOR THE FEVERED, CHILLED

AND COLD

For Wet Feet, Chattering Teeth, Cold Spines, Shivers,

Goose-Flesh, Frozen Fingers and Chilblain

BLUE BLAZER

Use two glass mugs.

In

one dissolve a teaspoonful of

powdered sugar with a wine-glass of boiling water. Pour

in one wine-glass of Scotch whiskey. Ignite the liquid

with fire, and while blazing mix the ingredients by pour–

ing from one mug to the other, four or five times.

If

ex–

pertly done it will have the appearance of a continued

stream of fire, but the novice should be careful not to

scald himself. Serve piping hot in a small glass with a

piece of twisted lemon peel.

HoT RuM

In

a heated bar glass pour one wine-glass of Jamaica

rum. Add a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and a small

piece of butter, big as the end of your fingernail. Fill with

boiling water, stirring as you pour. Grate a little nutmeg

on top and serve.
