THE GENTLEMAN'S COMPANION
Cointreau, Benedictine, Grand Marnier, Chartreuse, Cordial Medoc,
Drambuie, Certosa, or any of the myriad French coloured liqueurs
coined for devious Gallic purposes, but each notable for this or that
fragrance or flavour. . . . Such drinks are lovely to look at,
dry
enough through the lime juice, and each one radically different from
its neighbour!

CRUSTA.,

the WEsT INDIES, in 1929
This effective and eventful drink uses no man-made cup, but the
reversed skin of a small orange or lemon, first moistened inside and
on the lip with lemon juice or rum, then dipped in lots of fine white
sugar, until encrusted evenly on inner yellow side of the whole
re–
versed
skin.... Now stand this in any stemmed glass that will fit it.
The other method is to peel off a small orange, or lemon, in a single
unbroken spiral. Take a small goblet, moisten inside with lemon juice
or rum, then line with the spiral peel, and the whole dipped in fine
sugar, leaving what clings, clinging.
Now chill either type of container
for
a good hour in the refrigera–
tor, and into it strain the following, after shaking well with cracked
ice.
St. Croix or other Martinique rum,
Maraschino,
