XII / 104
The BonVivant's Companion
the presiding deity at the Planter's House, St. Louis, seventy-
five years ago. His very name is synonymous with quality in
the lexicon of mixed drinks, and remember that he was as
inexorable as the Medes and Persians in his principle that no
excellent drink can be made out of anything but excellent
materials.
"Good wine needs no bush," Shakespeare tells us, and over
one of Jerry's mixtures eulogy is quite as redundant.
Howsomever, here's to you. Drink hearty, and best wishes
for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Cordially,
GEORGE A. ZABRISKIE
