Here's How
so much more interesting than the vegetables
from which it is derived.
It is the thing that makes little Johnny,
for instance, smack his lips after a glass of
Iron Cocktail when he turns away with real
loathing from a mess of boiled spinach pre
scribed by the doctor because he is anemic.
It is the thing that makes grown-ups,as well
as children, ask for more.
When it comes to the eye appeal,you can
do all sorts of things to produce attractive
colors in your Health Cocktails. A little
spinach juice gives a pleasing green color;
a little beet juice makes an attractive red.
And various flavors may be just as easily
achieved. Lemonjuice,a bit oftomato juice,
a little finely chopped watercress, will give
you individual taste nuances. In preparing
Health Cocktails the housewife has a real
opportunity to exercise any artistry and
originality she may possess—talentsthatare
stunted by a blind following of the cook book
or strict conformity to family food tradi
tions.
