AND

JULEPS

NON-ALCOHOLIC

COCKTAILS

As

the

mission

of

a

cocktail

is

to

be

an

appetizer,

it

should

be

served

at

the

beginning

of

a

meal.

It

may

be

made

of

fruits,

of

vegetables,

of

both

fruits

and

vegetables,

or of

liquids,

as

one

wishes.

Most

cocktails

served

at

the

home

table

will

doubtless

be

made

of

fresh

fruits,

but

the

house-

keeper

will

find

that

there

are a

number

of

combinations

of

fruits

and

vegetables

which

will

be

quite

acceptable

to

her

family

and

guests.

There

are

several

things

to

remember

when

making

a

cocktail;

one

of

which

is,

always

use

attractive

glasses

and

be

sure

that

they

shine.

Have

the

ingredients

quite

cold

and

by no

means

make

them

too

sweet,

for

if

they

lose

the

tartness,

the

best

effect

is

lost.

The

more

attractive

the

cocktail

looks,

the

more

appetizing

it

will

prove

to

be.
