THE EXOTIC DRINKING BOOK
ANGEL'S CHERRY, a NoMrNAL RISK WE
MET
SuccESSFULLY in
MENTONE,
near the ITALIAN BoRDER, on a SPRING DAY in
1932
This addition, whose title meaning is debatable, is a newcomer to
the fold. Those of us who take the trouble can find Damiana in any
decent wine merchant's shop, and a perusal of the label illustration
alone should be worth the price of admission. . . .
Pour la Patrie!
. .. Needless to say Damiana is alleged to possess certain properties
which wise men have sought for many centuries, with greater or less
result-mostly less. . . . Benedictine, Damiana, and cognac,
1/3
each.
Top off with a tablespoon of thick cream, center with the largest and
reddest cherry the neighbourhood affords, and be about our business.
ANGEL'S DREAM
Omit the Benedictine, and use
1/3
each Damiana,
Creme Yvette,
cognac and heavy cream.
ANGEL'S KISS
This heavenly, and hypothetical osculation has scant value as an his-
torical beverage here or abroad, but as long as we are going in for
items of more or less serious nonsense, it shall not pass.
Float in, and on,
1/5
each of the following: Damiana,
Parfaite
Amour,
yellow chartreuse, Benedictine, cognac, and beaten egg white.
On this is superimposed a layer of thick cream, and on it ginger, clove,
or nutmeg-a slight pinch-depending on the perquisites of the
occasion.
ANGEL'S TIT, No. I, BEING the ORIGINAL FORMULA
First encountered on one of those Canadian week-ends at Niagara
on the Lake when many nice people seemed to forsake these United
States seeking oasis for reasons of their own, during prohibition.
