What Shall We Drink?
lemon or lime juice. Drop in the yolk only of one fresh egg
and mix ingredients till they form a creamy batter. Now
pour in two ounces of your favorite brandy,or,if you choose,
use whisky, gin or rum instead of Brandy. Stir well, add
shaved ice to reach about halfway in glass and turn in a
stream of vichy, seltzer or carbonated water, stir a bit, and
drink quickly to enjoy the fizz effect.
RADIO FIZZ
The Radio Fizz, of course, is one of the moderns. Pom
into large goblet half full of shaved ice,two ounces of whisky
(or gin), a teaspoon of"gum,"the juice of one lime or half a
lemon, the partly beaten white of one egg. Stir weU, and
then fizz with a stream of vichy,seltzer or carbonated water.
Drink at once.
RUM FIZZ
The Rum Fizz also should be made in a large goblet half
full of finely shaved ice. Pour in two oimces of Rum (any
kind),the juice of a half lemon(or one lime),add the beaten
yolk and white of one egg(or use only the white,if you wish,
or the yolk). A teaspoon of "gum" completes the ingredi
entsfor the first stirring. After stirring well,inject the stream
of seltzer, vichy or carbonated water to fill glass, stir just a
bit, and drink.
Fizzes are especially desirable as morning bracers or when
one feels fagged after a round of golf; or they are adaptable
for serving on hot Summer days on porch or lawn,or at any
time when one feels jaded.
GIN FIX
The "fix" is twin brother to the "fizz," Here's how to
make one: Into a goblet put a tablespqon of "gum," add a
few dashes of lime or lemon juice, an ounce of pineapple
juice and two ounces of gin. Stir well and then fill glass with
finely shaved ice, stirring a few times. Crown with your
favorite fruits or berries and sip through straws.
