What Shall We Drink?
MIXING STRAWBERRY CORDIAL
To one pint of thick clear strawberry syrup add one pint
of 90% pure alcohol or one pint of fine old French Brandy.
Let stand for several days to thoroughly blend before using.
PRUNELLE CORDIAL
You can make your own prune syrup by simply boiling
enough primes in a small amount of water and powdered
sugar to make one pint of heavy sjTup. Strain through
muslin several times, until absolutely clear. Then add one
pint of 90% alcohol or a pint of fine French Brandy. Let
stand to blend for several days. Strain again and rebottle.
Of course, you can buy prune syrup, if you wish to avoid
bother.
