COBBLERS.
• The ' Cobbler' is a general favourite in hot weather.
No great skill is required in its preparation, although it
IS desirable to display a little taste in its ornamentation,
so that it may be as pleasing to the eyeas it is acceptable
to the palate.
Catawba.
Catawba is a Califomian wine but little known in this
country. Champagne may be substituted, and for the
purpose the Italian wine known as Sparkling Asti is very
suitable.
P.S.—If sparkling wines areused they should be mixed
with a spoon, not shaken.
Dissolve one teaspoonful of icing sugar in
one tablespoonful ofwater, which you have put
into a large tumbler; then add two wineglasses of
Catawba or Asti wine, and fill the tumbler with
shaved or pounded ice; shake well, ornament
with one or two slices of orange or pineapple
and berries in season, and place two straws in
the glass.
