COCKTAILS

The BonVivant's Companion

Fancy Brandy, Gin and Whiskey Cocktails

I dash of syrup

I dash Angostura bitters

I dash curacao

I jigger brandy or gin or whiskey

Yz glass of fine ice

Shakeand strain, twist a piece of lemonpeel, and serve.

Fancy Gin Cocktail

This drink is made the same as the Gin Cocktail, except that it

is strained into a fancy wineglass, a piece of lemon peel thrown

on top, and the edge of the glass moistened with lemon.

Farmers^ Cocktail

I dash of Angostura bitters

Yi jigger Gordon dry gin

Yi jigger Chappaz French vermouth

Y'i jigger Bailor vermouth

Yz glass cracked ice

Frappe, strain, and smile.

Fill the bowl with flowing wine,

And while your lips are wet—

Press their fragrance into mine

And forget.

Every kiss we take and give,

Leaves us less of life to live.
