HINTS

AND

GENERAL

REMARKS.

kept

on

hand:

Strawberries,

raspberries,

blackberries

and

cherries.

They

may

be

prepared

the

same

way

as

the

other

fruits.

Never

handle

fruits

with

your

ringers,

but

use

a

fancy

fruit-fork.

Canned

Fruits.

AT

a

time

when

there

are

no

fresh

fruits

to

be

had,

canned goods

may

be

taken

instead

of

them.

The

juice

or

the

syrup

of

them

lends

a

very

aromatic

flavor

to

drinks

such

as

cobblers,

punches,

sours,

fizzes

and

lemonades.

You

also

may

present

a

little

of

these

fruits

to

your

customers.

To

persons

who

drink

strong

liquors,

the

use

of

fruits

is

of

a

much

greater

advantage

than

lunch.

The

proper

way

of

serving

such

little

relishes

is

to

put

them

in

a

separate

little

glass,

or

present

on

a

fork or

a

toothpick.

Further

Instructions.

NEVER

allow

yourself

to

be

idle

behind

the

bar;

be

ready

to

serve

at

once

when

a

customer

enters.

When

a

drink

is

ordered

that

requires

water,

fill

your

glass

with

fine

ice,

and

pour

over

it

water

out

of a

pitcher

in

full

view

of

your

guest.

This

rule

must

necessarily

be

carried

out

in

performing

every

one

of

your

duties.

A

bottle

never

must

be

more

than

half

empty.

For

strong

drinks,

always

serve

two

glasses

one

for

the

drink,

the

other

for

the

water.

Serve

sherry

and

port

wine
