"JERSEY LILY"POUSSE CAFE
This drink, named after Lillian Russell, the "Jersey
Lily," was much reUshed by that queen of the stage in her
heydey. To her memory let us devote a thought as we mix
one in a finger-wide slender glass or a pony glass. Only two
ingredients, so use half a glass of Chartreuse and on top
carefully pour Cognac Brandy. One of the easiest to make
but most enjoyable of the Pousse Cafes.
MANHATTAN POUSSE CAFE
Use a slender Sherry glass for four equal parts of Mara
schino, Absinthe, Benedictine and Orange Curacao.
From the foregoing, you probably can learn to make up
your own types of Pousse Cafes, naming them as you wish.
And now just to give you a couple of Brandy Champarelles
and Scaffas, usually made in Sherry wine glasses exactly as
Pousse Cafes are made.
COGNACBRANDY CHAMPARELLE
One third each of Cognac Brandy, Maraschino Cordial
and Orange Bitters.
PEACH BRANDY CHAMPARELLE
One fifth each of Red Curacao, Yellow Chartreuse, rich
cream. Green Creme de Menthe and Peach Brandy.
CHERRYBRANDY CHAMPARELLE
One quarter each of Yellow Chartreuse, Maraschino
Cordial, Kirschwasser and Cherry Brandy.
PEACH BRANDY SCAFFA
Fifth equal parts of Strawberry Syrup,Green Chartreuse,
White Creme de Menthe, Maraschino Cordial and Peach
Brandy. COGNACBRANDY SCAFFA
Quarter equal parts of Raspberry Syrup, Yellow Char-
treause. Green Chartreuse and Cognac Brandy.
From these formulas you may devise your own Cham
parelles and Scaffas, which, to my mind, might all be in
cluded under the general name of Pousse Cafes.
