THE EXOTIC DRINKING BOOK
and stomachs stage sit-down strikes and view all thought of food–
present or future-with entire lack of enthusiasm. Further than this,
the cinchona bark elixir in the Angostura, the other herbs and valuable
simples, are a definite first line defense against malaria and other
amoebic fevers-especially in warding off their after effect in later
months when all actual peril is past.
Take
1
pony of Angostura bitters, add r tsp of sugar or grenadine,
the juice of
Yi
lemon or
I
lime, the white of
I
egg and
I
tbsp of thick
cream-or slightly less. Shake with cracked ice like a cocktail, turn
into a goblet and fill to suit individual taste with club soda, seltzer,
vichy, or whatever lures the mind. Vary the sweet also, to suit taste. It
is a very original, cooling drink as well as a valuable tonic to those
dwelling in hot countries. Garnish with sticks of ripe fresh pineapple,
always.
CASSIS
&
SODA, the OLD CLASSIC from anyWHERE in FRANCE
This is well known to all traveling Americans nowadays but is
important enough to list for those who are merely contemplating a
trip abroad. As we have already explained, cassis is the syrup and
juice made from black French
cur~nts
.... Take from
I
to
2
jiggers
of cassis, chill as above, turn into a tumbler or goblet with ice and fill
to taste with soda; or merely mix like an ordinary highball, directly
in the glass without shaking first. Angostura is optional. It is very
refreshing in hot weather, also.

CRUSTA,
from CRISTOBAL at
the ATLANTIC

Is AcTUALLY
WEST
of the PACIFIC
END
at BALBOA
Take the juice of
2
limes and put into a tumbler or goblet with fine
ice, the crystal having been rubbed first with the lime shells and the

Yi"
down the side. Now add r pony of raspberry syrup, fill glass with
enough club soda to
s~it
taste, and float on
Yi
to
