RAWLING'S MIXED DRINKS 81
For a dinner party the most satisfac
tory method is to prepare it before
hand. Stack about two dozen cubes of
sugar in a small platter or dish, leav
ing a little space between the cubes.
Over the stack pour carefully, about a
pint of good cognac brandy, and after
setting on fire keep turning it over the
sugar until burned out. This will
make a syrupy liquor which should be-
poured into a small decanter and
brought to the table with the coffee.

Creme de Menthe Frappe.
Pack a sherry glass with fine shaved
ice, and over this pour creme de
menthe, either green or white, until it
shows to the rim. Serve with straws.
Taken after dinner, this drink has a
beneficial effect in relieving any op
pressed feeling due to hearty eating.
