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 tomake a cocktail in a mixing
glass is to stir it with a fork rather than
with a spoon. By this tnethod the ice is
melted faster, cooking the liquor faster, and
diluting 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 small preserved orange is gener
ally given.
