FANCY DRINKS
ABSINTHE
1 wineglass of absinthe
Pour water, drop by drop, until the glass is full.
Never use a spoon.
"ARE AND ARE"
In London this drink is made by mixing half porter
and half ale. In America it is made by mixing half new
and half old ale.
BLACK STRIPE
1 wineglass Santa Cruz rum
1 tablespoon of molasses
This drink can be made in either summer or winter.
If in the former season, mix in one tablespoon of water,
and cool with shaved ice; if in the latter, fill up the
tumbler with boiling water. Grate a little nutmeg on top.
J-lere's to champagne, the drink divine—
Hhat makes us forget our troubles;
Jt's made of a dollar's worth of wine,
And three dollars' worth of bubbles.
