THE GENTLEMAN'S COMPANION
adventurous enough to be curious that the French
Sttrete
closed its
doors upon those precious things of the long evening gowns, the slave
bracelets about wrist and ankle; the pendant earrings; rouge, jeweled
slipper and tiny fans.... It is a strange drink, and for
all
we know it
may have its purposes and its moments. Take a sherry glass and build
up as follows:
creme de cacao, parfait amour,
the yolk of
l
egg care–
fully unbroken, and finally
kiimmel dare-all
chilled beforehand. Use
about
I
poo.y each of the liqueurs, or slightly less.
THE MANILA "HOOP PUNCH," another MASTERPIECE from the
HANDS of "MoNK" ANTRIM'S No. I CHINO, FmsT DISCOVERED in 1931
Take
1
pony each of cognac and orange
Cura~ao,
add
2
ponies of
port wine, donate
1
tsp of lemon or lime juice. Fill a goblet with finely
cracked ice, turn in the mix, stir and serve with short straws-gar–
nished to suit taste.... This can also be made not quite so sweet by
changing the strained lime juice up to
Yz
pony and cutting down the
Cura~ao
to
Yi
pony.
AND NOW SEVENTEEN or so "HoT HELPERS" CALCULATED to

Bony, HEART

&
AMIABLE DISPOSITION
Of all the retinue of drinks listed in this volume, it is certain that
Hot Helpers really will be of most grateful use to readers. For when
a man is wet and chilled through, blue with cold and long exposure
in such voluntary tortures as November duck blinds, the wheel of an
ocean-going sailing craft in a winter chance, or in anr chilly and de–
pleted situation, a Hot Helper will in 5 short minutes recall him from
being a sorry and useless thing into restoration as a warm-hearted
homebody, kind to dogs, children, wives and even landlords-as we
can surely attest! Out of the endless blends in glass and silver bowl
we have listed these as the best and unusual from all over the civilized
world.
