What Shall We Drink?
VICTORIA FRAPPE
Dating back to Queen Victoria's reign the Victoria Frappe
is still highly relished in Britain's best circles. Merely fill a
sherbet glass to rim with finely shaved ice. Pour over ice
three tablespoons of Sloe Gin and sip when glass is frosty.
MAKING A CREME DE COCOA FRAPPE
Another nice one for the ladies! Fill a sherbet glass to
rim with finely shaved ice. Pour over ice two tablespoons of
Creme de Cocoa and stir until glass is frosted. Then sip.
MIXING A GOOD NIGHT"BON SOIR"
For the parting drink after a sociable evening nothing is
more dehghtfulthan the Good Night BonSoir. Fillasherbet
glass half full of ice and pour over ice a half pony of Bene
dictine and an equal amount of Creme de Yvette. Fill glass
with ginger ale or soda water, stir and have your pleasant
nightcap.
RUM SHRUB
A delightful Rum Shrub is made of one gallon of rum
(any kind you Hke best, but Bacardi chances to be my prefer
ence), a quart and a half of orange juice, a pint of lemon
juice and the oily yeUow rinds of four lemons. Don't get
white pith in mixture. Into this mixture pour one pint finest
French Brandy and a quart and a half of distilled water.
Sweeten to taste and let stand for four days before using.
This is an excellent beverage to bottle and have ready in
large or small quantities for the favored guest or guests.
Best served cold, when used.
CATAWBA SYRUP
To make a nice Catawba Syrup, which comes in handily
both as an aid to the culinary department as well as in drink
mixtures, mix equal parts of"gum"and Catawba Wine and
put awayfor use in a bottle. You can make as large or small
a quantity as you wish, using these equal proportions. It
will keep indefinitely.
