THE GENTLEMAN'S COMPANION
Shake with fine ice until well chilled, turn into a whisky glass and
top off with a trace of seltzer, leaving in three teaspoons of the fine ice
to keep the chill edge on.
BIARRITZ "MONK-BUCK"
Something to cause nerves to join and coordinate for that morning–
after-and rather chill (we've found) swim which characterizes the
Mediterranean when we got there too soon, one spring.
Simply throw two and a half jiggers of cognac in a sixteen ounce
collins glass already lined with a long spiral peel
a
la
horse's neck.
Pack half full of fine ice, fill with the best ginger ale or ginger beer
the place affords, float on a couple of tablespoons yellow chartreuse,
and let it settle to the bottom. . . . Don't plan on more than one, for
a little while.

Mixing technique seems torn between stirring in a bar glass with
ice, straining into a whisky glass, and adding,a little seltzer topped off
with a twisted lemon peel-or stirring in the same bar glass, and turn–
ing into an old fashioned glass with a lump of ice, a squirt of club
soda, and a twist of peel. . . . Some sa'.ne folk merely shake with ice
and a jigger of soda or seltzer. The latter works more suddenly than
the more diluted drink.... Absinthe is difficult to recommend to suit
others-increase or decrease to taste. Pernod Veritas will do.
