The next item on the programme is called in
my book,
Drink for Dog Days^
but as this is not a nice name, and suggests
hydrophobia and—other things, I will re-christen
it
Citron de Luxe.
The composition is very simple.
Put a
lemon-ice in a large tumbler, fill up with soda-
water, stir well, and drink.
N.B.—Mr. George Krehl, of "Verrey's,"
who knows something about dog days, and dogs,
won the prize offered in the Sporti?ig Times for
the best recipe for a summer drink, many years
ago, with a similar suggestion. But G. K.added
a small glass of Cura^oa, and (I think) a drop or
two of Angostura bitters.
Cherry Cobbler
Take one pound of cherries of Kent, free from
stalks and stones.
Throw them into a pint of
boiling syrup, made of one pound of loaf-sugar
dissolved in one pint of water. Let the cherries
boil as fast as possible—" gallop " is, I believe, the
technical word—for ten minutes, and then add a
quart of boiling water ; put the whole into a pan,
and when cold strain. The addition of soda-water
will make it all the more watery.
