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.
