What Shall We Drink?
MIXING A GRAPE FRUIT RICKEY
Follow same directions as for Orange Rickey,except that
you use dash of lemon sjnrup instead of orange bitters and
grape fruit juice instead of orange juice.
MIXING AN ORANGE RICKEY
Into a large goblet or high shell, at your pleasure, pour
the juice of one orange. Fill glass one third full of finely
shaved ice. Now two dashes of orange bitters, an ounce and
a half of sweet gin, an ounce of kuemmel, a tablespoon of
"gum." Stir in ice to mix,then fiU glass with vichy or seltzer
stream. Top with a half slice of fresh lime.
MIXING A PEACH RICKEY
Usea high shell,fill quarter full with cracked ice, cover ice
with a tablespoonful of Peach Cordial, add two ounces of
Peach Brandy and one dash of Noyeau to give it a pleasant
nutty flavor of bitter almond. A half slice of lemon or a
whole thin slice of lime now goes in and the glass is fiUed to
brim with seltzer or vichy or carbonated water, whichever
you may have. Some use White Rock water. Regardless of
what you use, even if it's sweet soda water, you'll like this
rickey immensely.
MIXING A GRENADINE RICKEY
Into your glass as above pour one ounce of Grenadine
and a teaspoonful of lemon or lime juice. Add an ounce and
a half of gin, dry or sweet, and fill glass with stream of
seltzer or vichy, stirring well before drinking.
MIXING A SLOE GIN RICKEY
Here is one of the most delightful of the Rickey family—
the Sloe Gin Rickey. Let's try to make one.
Use a highball glass for this drink and into it put some
cracked ice on which pour one teaspoon lemon juice or two
teaspoons of lime juice. Then add two ounces of sloe gin
and fill glass to brim with stream of seltzer or vichy.
It's easy,eh? And whata cold drink for a perspiring day!
