INTRODUCTION
TO
MIXED
DRINKS.
admit
this
fact
who
is
not
a
slave
to
drinking.
First
of
all,
if
you
make
a
mixed
drink,
your
honesty
must
force
you
to
use
pure
articles
only.
Suppose
you
need
for
your
drink
three
or
four
ingredients;
take
every
article
genuine
but
one,
and
you
will
spoil
the
entire
drink
by
the
one
that
is
not
genuine.
Therefore,
order
mixed
drinks
only
in
reliable
places.
Secondly
:
Never
order
a
mixed
drink
when
you
are
in
a
hurry;
you
can
get
a
well-mixed
drink
only
when
you
devote
the
time
absolutely
necessary
to
pre-
pare
it.
Thirdly:
The
mixer
ought
to
be
careful
not
to
use
too
much
of
one
ingredient
and
too
little
of
another.
Do
not get
too
much
water
in
your
drink
when
you
prepare
drinks
with
ice;
find
the
suitable
temperature,
not
too
warm
nor
too
cold;
chiefly,
however,
be
careful
in
your measurements,
and
compare
a
plain
drink
in
its
size
with
your
mixed
one.
Mixing
drinks
might
be
compared
to
music;
an
or-
chestra
will
produce
good
music,
provided
all
players
are
artists;
but
have
only
one
or
two
inferior
musicians
in
your
band,
and
you
may
be
convinced
they
will
spoil
the
entire
harmony.
A
man
who
is
a
slave
to
drinking
will
always
prefer
something
strong,
even
if
less
palatable,
and
the
effect
is
generally
harmful
to
his
brain;
whereas
the
man
who
believes
in
mixed
drinks
may
hurt
his
stomach,
in
case
he
drinks
too
much;
but
even
this
too
much
will
never
reach
the
quantity
of
the
former.
