THE COCKTAIL
The Cocktail is a combination of various ingredients, and if
mixed properly, and with the right proportions, is a most
delightful drink. Bear in mind that a cocktail consists of
^of liquor, and }/i of water dissolved from the ice used in
mixing it. However,ifa stronger drink is desired,use less ice.
We consider 2 oz. of mixture and 1 oz. of water sufficient
for an average size Cocktail. All recipes in this book call for
one drink;ifmore are desired,increase amountsin proportion.
Also, use more or less sugar and lemon juice, according to
your individual taste.
