THE EXOTIC DRINKING BOOK

where it has an enviable record of revivition after the unwise cup on

a night before.

Shake briskly and strain into any sort of glass best calculated not to

fall from our numb and listless clutch.

SWISS YODELER, which WE EMPLOYED ONCE at Vn..LA d'EsTE,

which Is on LAKE CoMo

We always wondered what made those Swiss alpenstock wielders

such staunch and hardy fellows, so consider this for a warmer-up of

waning flesh. The egg white is heavier than most absinthe cocktails.

Shake well with cracked ice and pour frothing in tall cocktail glass

WHITFIELD SMITH'S

SUNDAY MORNING COCKTAIL,

No. I,

&

this ONE's a DARB!

This is another contribution from Fritz Abildgaard Fenger, and

should be served in a 4 oz glass, same as a proper West Indian Swizzle.

This makes four drinks.

Put

2

fresh egg yolks in 4 oz glass, and fill with ice water. Add one

and a half more glasses water, and add a teaspoon of sugar or

gomme

to taste. To this contribute 4 teaspoons Angostura, swizzle-or shake

in shaker to break yolks-and add four ponies of rye or bourbon

whisky. . . .

In

go

2

oz-Yz

a cocktail glass-of cream, and a little

Creme de Cacao or Benedictine, to taste. Swizzle again and grate

nutmeg on top....

If

no cream handy, use water.
