W
the sugar with a spoon until dissolved. Now put in a few
piecesof cracked ice and pour outaboutsix ounces of whisky.
Measure out a half teaspoon of orange bitters and a quarter
teaspoon of Angostura bitters. Stir and pour into old-
fashioned cocktail glasses,topping surface of each drink with
a thin piece oflemon peel after tweaking the skin's oilinto the
glass. Spoons may be served for sipping and each glass might
have a bit of chipped ice in it. Brandy or Sherry may be used
instead of Whisky,if desired.
MIXING A SILVER COCKTAIL
The Silver Cocktail is made in tumbler with two oimces of
gin and the same amount of dry Vermouth. Into this put a
half teaspoon of"gum"and stir. Then a quarter teaspoon of
orange bitters and slightly more of Maraschino cordial are
added;some ice cubes or cracked slivers of ice complete the
job and you stir, strain into cocktail glass and serve with a bit
of yellow lemon peel floating after tweaking it over contents.
This is for one drink. More can be made by multiplying the
ingredients as many times as you wish to furnish drinks.
MIXING A VERMOUTH COCKTAIL
Now you and I might mix two Vermouth Cocktails, this
time using the shaker with ice in it. Pour in one and a half
cocktail glasses of Vermouth (the sweet or dry as you may
prefer). Add three dashes of bitters (Angostura if you use
sweet Vermouth,orange bitters if you use the dry Vermouth),
a teaspoonful of Maraschino cordial and "gum"to suit taste.
Shake and pour into our waiting cocktail glasses for a really
delightful drink.
Here's another Vermouth Cocktail you'll like: For two,
mix one and a half cocktail glassfuls of Vermouth, either
sweet or dry,two teaspoons of"gum,"a quarter teaspoon of
bitters, a dash of Arrack and a slice of lemon. Shake in ice
and serve into cocktail glasses,adding a cherry or olive,as you
wish.
