dry Vermouth and one dash of Arrack. Shake well and serve
with a tweaked bit of orange peel (only the yellow part)
floating on top of your cocktail glass.
MIXING A BLACKTHORN COCKTAIL
Another pre-Prohibition favorite again restored to favor is
the Blackthorn Cocktail,which we now can enjoy together.
Into the iced shaker pour four ounces of sloe gin,two tea
spoons of "gum," a tablespoon of strained lemon juice, a
quarter tablespoon of orange bitters, three ounces of sweet
Vermouth and two dashes of Angostura Bitters. Shake well
and strain into our two cocktail glasses.
HOW TO MIX A DEMI-VIRGIN COCKTAIL
Strange name,eh? So are the namesof many of thefancy
drinks, and Demi-Virgin is good enough for any man! Let's
mix in our shaker three ounces of dry gin,three-quarter ounce
of Grenadine, the juice of one lime and one dash of orange
bitters. Shake and serve in cocktail glass. Some folks like a
longer drink and serve this drink with cracked ice in a thin
stemmed Sherry type glass,using "stiffer" proportions offour
parts gin to one part Grenadine, the other ingredients re
maining the same. It's mostly a matter of taste.
HOW TO MIX AN ITALIAN COCKTAIL
Out with the iced shaker again and pour into it the juice
of a quarter of an orange, three ounces of Italian gin (dry or
sweet)and one and a half ounces of Italian Vermouth. Add a
sprig of mint,shake well and serve in cocktail glass, with mint
floating.

Hawaii gives us other things besides strumming ukes,
festooned maidens in hula-hula costumes and moonlight on
Waikiki Beach. The Honolulu Cocktail has equal romance.
Here it is:
Pour into iced shaker a good two ounces of Bacardi Rum,
one ounce of orange juice and a half teaspoon of Grenadine.
