CATAWBA COBBLER
This is a delightful cobbler and can be served either in a
large or tall slender tumbler, depending on the size of drink
you wish. Fill glass half full of shaved ice and pour in a
tablespoon of"gum," filling balance of glass to within a half
inch of top with Catawba Wine. Stir well and crown top
with berries or fruits. Sip through straws or glass sippers.
BRANDY SANGAREE
Stir in small tumbler containing a tablespoon of shaved
ice, two ounces of brandy, an ounce of carbonated water
and a teaspoon of "gum." Strain into small wine glass and
top with grated nutmeg or powdered cinnamon. A bit of
Sherry floated on top before adding the powdered spice is
very agreeable.
HOW TO MAKE A HORSE'S NECK
For the Horse's Neck you need a tall straight glass of the
highball type, but slightly larger. That's the reason for the
name. It should have been a "Giraffe's Neck" because the
drink is so "long." Anyway, here's how: Carefully cut the
rind of a whole lemon, starting at one end and slicing in a
spiral fashion to end the cutting at the other end. Place this
spiral of yellow skin in glass, letting one end rest on top rim
of glass and the spiral winding downward to bottom of glass.
Now a few lumps or cubes of ice, an ovmce of rye whisky
(sometimes omitted entirely) and fill glass to brim with cold
ginger ale. The bit of whisky prevents this drink from being
insipid to the man who fikes a small"kick" on a hot day.
THE HORSE'S NECK STIFF
Do as above but add to contents a good two-ounce drink
of any kind of whisky you prefer.
