BRUT CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL
Put the number of stem cocktail glasses
that you will need on a tray. Pack each glass
with shaved ice. Place the tray in the ice-box,
and let it stand until you are ready for the
cocktails. Be sure that the outsides of the
glasses have been wiped dry before you fill
them with ice, and afterwards
do
not touch
them with your fingers. If these directions
are followed carefully, the glasses will frost.
When you are ready, shake the ice from
the glasses, place in each one a lump of sugar,
and squirt onto this
a
dash of Angostura
bitters. Now
fill
the glasses with well chilled
champagne.
Roasted unsalted almonds, crushed, mixed
with anchovy paste, and spread upon thin
unsalted crackers develop the luxury of this
cocktail.
