when enjoying it, give a silent toast to the long dead good

a half ounces of Creme de Cocoa, using a ten-ounce glass.
Add a half ounce of sweet mUk and a tablespoonful of
"gum." Now,a small scoop of ice cream and charge it with
a stream of vichy or seltzer. This isn't particularly recom
mended as a man's drink.
MIXING A BRANDY RICKEY
That tall, thin goblet comes into service again with its
cracked or diced ice for the Brandy Rickey. Pour over the
ice two ounces of brandy (any kind) and add a teaspoon of
lime or lemon juice. Fill with stream of seltzer or vichy,
and drink.

Into a tall,thin goblet put the juice of a half lemon,add
finely shaved ice to one third the height of glass. Now an
ounce of Jamaica rum,an ounce of Arrack,two half slices of
lemon and a stream of vichy or seltzer to fill glass. Don't use
sugar.
MIXING A RUM RICKEY
Into a thin,tall goblet containing ice cubes or cracked ice
pour two ounces of rum (any kind) and add a teaspoon of
lime or lemon juice (preferably lime). FiU with stream of
seltzer or vichy, stir slightly, crown with half shce of lime
and enjoy your drink.
MIXING A WHISKY RICKEY
For the Whisky Rickey you may use either Rye, Scotch,
Irish or Bourbon, pouring two ounces on the cracked ice or
cubes in your thin goblet and filling with stream of vichy or
seltzer. It's a simple drink to make and especially suitable
with the other rickeysfor the"dog days"or after a hotround
of golf.
