MIXING A CLARET BISHOP

Place in stewpan one bottle of Claret and add four table

spoons of "giun," two cloves, the yeUow rind of only half an

orange, one small bit of the yellow rind of a lemon,and heat

until vapors rise just before boiling starts. Turn off flame

and let cool. Strain mixtme through muslin into a small

punch bowl containing cracked ice, or put in freezer imtil

chilled, and serve.

MAKING A CREME DE MENTHE FRAPPE

This is so easy that it almost needs no guidance. Fill a

cocktail or sherbet glass to rim with finely shaved ice. Pom-

over ice two tablespoons of Creme de Menthe Cordial. Let

stand until frost forms on glass. Then sip or use straw. Fine

after heavy meal.

MAKING A GRENADINE FRAPPE

The ladies will like this just as much as they'll like the

Creme de Menthe Frappe. Fill cocktail or sherbet glass as

given above with fine ice. Pom over it three tablespoons of

Grenadine. Let glass show frost before sipping. Men won't

like this because it is too sweet, but as for the ladies—well,

sweets to the sweet!

MIXING A BOSTON COOLER

Use a small punch bowl well iced and put in a quart of

ginger ale, one ounce of Creme de Cocoa, four ounces of

brandy and diced fruits of several kinds. Mix well and serve

to your bridge foursome.

MIXING A"NEXT MORNING"SUISSE

After the "night before" nothing is more conducive to a

feeling of relief than the "Next Morning" Suisse. Mix it like

this: In a large tumbler partly filled with fine ice pour an

ounce of Gin,an ounce of Anisette, a half ounce of Absinthe

and the partly beaten white of one egg. Mix thoroughly and

pour into small shell glass. Fill with ice cold vichy and

drink it down.
