VARIOUS HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS
IT IS highly essential with all these recipes to put ice in
glass first of all; pouring liquor over it, therefore blending
the ingredients and making the drink weaker and more
palatable. In stirring always hold the spoon at an oblique
position, touching bottom at left side of glass, and using an
up and down motion. If a stronger drink is desired hold
spoon straight with a twist-around motion. When using eggs
in drinks,ifpossible keep the egg from coming in contact with
the liquor, for the alcohol will cook it, thus impairing the
value and taste.
