CRUSTAS

Crusta ismade the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lemon

juice, anda small lump of ice added. Firstmix the ingredients in a

small tumbler, then take a fancy red wineglass, rub a sliced lemon

around the rimof the same, and dip it in pulverized white sugar,

so that the sugarwill adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a

lemon, the same as you would an apple (all in one piece), so that

the paring will fit in the wineglass, as shown in the cut. Strain the

crusta from the tumbler into it, then smile.

To the memory of

GEORGE WASHINGTON

The childless father of seventy millions.

T

May the happiest days of your past

Be the saddest days of your future.
