Blue Blazes
Use two large silver-plated mugs with handles
I wineglass Scotch whiskey
I wineglass boiling water
Put the whiskey and the water in one mug, ignite the liquid
with fire, and whileblazing mixboth ingredients by pouring them
four or five times from one mug to the other, as shown in cut.
If well done, thiswill have the appearance of a continuous stream
of liquid fire.
Sweeten with one teaspoonful of pulverized white sugar, and
serve in a small tumbler, with a piece of lemon peel.
When going up the hill of Prosperity
May you never meet any friend coming down.
