MIXED DRINKS.
there are not enough drinks to naake a class, they will
be indexed as read—the principal liquor composing it
coming first; thus, brandy sling, claret cup and hot
whisky will be in the B's and C's and Ws respectively.
If a drink is named for some distinguished individual,
look for the first word in the name,and not for the
Christian name,as though you were searching for the
name of a man in a directory; thus,Sam Ward will be
found in S. and John Collins in J. But Gen'l Harrison
Egg hTogg will, of course, be under the head of Egg
Hoggs. Where both words of a phrase are of equal'
significance the drink is classified under the initial letter
of the first name; thus. Stone Fence is in S., and Hot
Scotch in H. In some instances there is a double
classification, so that finding any drink you want is an
absolute certainty.
The above remarks apply to that department of
this work comprehended under the head of Mixed
Drinks.
The other sections of the book have each a special,
but not a long, elaborate index.
