GIN AND TANSY

Fill a quart decanter H full of tansy and pour in gin

to fill up the balance, H tansy to M gin.

GIN AND WORMWOOD

Put 3 or 4 sprigs of wormwood into a quart decanter

and fill up with gin.

The above drinks are not much used except in small

country villages.

JERSEY SUNSET

Into a straight champagne glass put a scant teaspoon-

ful of sugar with enough water to dissolve. Add a twist

of lemon or lime peel and half a whiskey glass of fine

old Monmouth applejack. Now put in enough broken

ice to cool, fill with water, and finish with a dash or two

of Angostura bitters, which should not be stirred in, but

be allowed to drop slowly through the amber mixture,

imparting to it the sunset hues which probably suggested

its name. In winter, instead of ice, hot water is used,

making a most genial drink —A Hot Sunset.
