MODERN AMERICAN DRINKS.

Absinthe.
Absinthe is composed of the tops and leaves of the herb artemisia
absinthium, or wormwood, which contains a volatile oil, absinthol,
and a yellow, crystalline, resinous compound, called absinthin,
which is the bitter principle. The alcohol with which this is mixed
holds these volatile oils in solution.

The free use of absinthe is injurious. Never serve it in any kind
of drink unless called for by the customer.

California Style Absinthe.
A mixing-glass* half full fine ice, one jigger absinthe. Shake
until very cold, strain into thin bar-glass, fill with siphon
seltzer or carbonic.

* By a mixing-glass is meant a large soda-glass, holding twelve
ounces; it is handier and gives better satisfaction than a goblet.
A jigger is a measure used for measuring liquors when mixing
drinks; it holds two ounces. A pony holds half a jigger.

Dripped Absinthe.
(Use Absinthe Drip-glass.)
Pour one pony of absinthe into the bottom glass, fill the upper
(drip) glass full of ice-water. When two-thirds of the water has
dripped into the absinthe it is ready to be drunk. A few drops of
anisette will improve this drink.

Absinthe, Italian Style.
Put into a thin eight-ounce glass containing a few lumps of clear
ice one pony of absinthe, two dashes maraschino, four dashes
anisette. Slowly fill the glass with ice-water, stir well with long
bar-spoon. Serve.

Absinthe, Swiss Style.
Fill a mixing-glass half-full of fine ice, pour into it one pony of
absinthe, one pony of water, one dash of gum-syrup. Shake with
shaker until very cold, strain into champagne-tumbler, fill up with
siphon seltzer.

Ammonia and Seltzer.
This is a good remedy for the relief of the depression following
alcoholic excesses. Dose: Twenty drops of spirit. ammon. aromat. in
a medium-sized glass of seltzer or plain water.

Ammonia, Soda, and Seltzer.
Same as ammonia and seltzer, mixing a small bar-spoonful of
bicarbonate of soda in the drink before imbibing.

Archbishop.
Dissolve in a mixing-glass one-half tablespoonful fine sugar in a
little water, the juice of quarter of a lemon, fill glass half-full
fine ice, add one jigger port wine, two dashes Jamaica rum. Shake
well. Serve in long thin punch-glass on ice with straws. Trim with
fruit in season.

Arrack.
Arrack is made from the juice obtained from the cocoanut-tree.
There is another kind made from rice. That which is imported from
Japan is considered the best.

Appetizer.
A mixing-glass half-full fine ice; add three dashes absinthe, three
dashes pepsin bitters, one jigger French vermouth. Shake well,
strain, and serve.

Barley Water.
One tablespoonful pearl barley to two quarts water. Put on fire and
boil two minutes; strain through cheesecloth. This makes an
excellent drink if made into lemonade.

Bicarbonate of Soda.
One small bar-spoonful of bicarbonate of soda in a medium-sized
glassful of plain water or seltzer (this is an excellent
stomach-settler).

Black Stripe.
One teaspoonful molasses, one small lump ice, one jigger Jamaica,
Medford, or St. Croix rum. Mix well in small bar-glass. Serve.

Bishop.
A long thin punch-glass half-full fine ice, the juice of quarter of
a lemon, the juice of half an orange, one dash Jamaica rum, two
jiggers Burgundy, one tablespoonful fine sugar. Mix well, fill the
glass with seltzer, ornament with fruit. Serve straws.

Blue Blazer.
One lump of sugar dissolved with a little hot water in a mug; add
one jigger of Scotch whiskey. Ignite this mixture. Take another mug
and pour from one to the other several times, giving it the
appearance of a streak of blue fire. Serve in hot-drink glass. Add
a piece twisted lemon-peel and a little grated nutmeg.

Bosom Caresser.
Fill a mixing-glass one-third full of fine ice; add a teaspoonful
raspberry syrup, one fresh egg, one jigger brandy; fill with milk,
shake well, and strain.

Bracer.
One pony brandy, one-half pony yellow chartreuse, one-half pony
maraschino, five drops absinthe, the yolk of one egg whipped, one
tablespoonful fine sugar. Mix well with ice, strain, and serve in
small fancy glasses.

Brain-Duster.
A mixing-glass half-full of fine ice, two dashes gum syrup, one
pony absinthe, one-half pony Italian vermouth, one-half pony
whiskey. Mix well, strain into thin glass, fill with seltzer.

Brandy and Ginger Ale.
Place a lump of ice in a long thin punch-glass, add one jigger
brandy and a cold bottle of imported ginger ale.

Brandy Champerelle.
Fill a sherry-glass one-fourth full maraschino, one-fourth full
orange curaçoa, one-fourth full yellow chartreuse, and one-fourth
full brandy. Add a few drops of Angostura bitters carefully. Be
sure to keep the different liqueurs from running into one another.

Brandy and Gum.
A few dashes gum-syrup in a whiskey-glass, one lump ice, a small
bar-spoon. Place, with a decanter of brandy, before customer, to
help himself.

Brandy and Soda.
One lump of ice in long punch-glass, one jigger brandy, one bottle
cold soda.

Brandy and Sugar.
One lump of sugar dissolved with a little water in a whiskey-glass,
one lump ice, a small bar-spoon. Place, with a decanter of brandy,
before customer.

Burned Brandy.
(GOOD IN A CASE OF DIARRHŒA.)
Put two lumps of cut-loaf sugar in a dish; add one jigger good
brandy, and ignite. When sufficiently burnt, serve in a
whiskey-glass.

Burned Brandy and Peach.
Prepare same as Burned Brandy. Place two or three slices of dried
peaches in the glass, pour the burned liquid over them, grate a
little nutmeg on top. Serve.

Cincinnati.
A glass half-full of lemon soda; then fill with draught beer.

Cherry Brandy.
Ten pounds of ripe wild cherries are freed from their pits, the
pits are pulverized, and, with the cherries and one gallon brandy,
placed in a demijohn or a covered stone jar for eight weeks. Add
two pounds refined sugar, filter through filtering-paper, bottle;
but use only after it has been bottled at least six weeks.
[TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: The seeds of some stone fruits such as cherry
contain ‘amygdalin’ which may be toxic.]

Claret Lemonade.
Make a plain, sweet lemonade, add a jigger of claret before
shaking; decorate with fruit. Serve straws.

Mulled Claret.
Put in a dish four lumps sugar, two jiggers claret, the juice of a
quarter of a lemon, a little powdered allspice, three cloves, a
small stick cinnamon. Bring the above to the boiling point, then
strain into a hot-drink glass, and add a slice of lemon.

Mulled Claret and Egg.
Prepare same as Mulled Claret, leaving out the lump sugar. Boil the
mixture one minute. Beat up the yolk of one egg with a small
spoonful of fine sugar. Place the beaten egg in a hot-drink glass
and pour the boiling claret over it, mixing well with spoon; grate
a little nutmeg on top.

Brandy Cobbler.
Fill a thin fizz-glass three-fourths full of fine ice, add three
dashes gum-syrup, three dashes maraschino, one jigger brandy. Mix
well. Trim with fruit in season. Serve with straws.

California Brandy Cobbler.
Prepare same as Brandy Cobbler, using California brandy.

California Sherry Cobbler.
Two tablespoonfuls fine sugar in a mixing-glass with a little
water, the juice of one orange, two jiggers California sherry; fill
the glass with fine ice, shake well, put all into a long thin
glass, trim with fruit. Serve straws.

California Wine Cobbler.

mixing-glass. Add the juice of one orange, two jiggers California
wine; fill the glass three-fourths with fine ice, shake well. Serve
in a long thin glass with straws. Ornament with fruit in season.

Catawba Cobbler.
One tablespoonful fine sugar, the juice of half a lemon, two
jiggers of Catawba wine in half a glass (mixing) full fine ice;
shake well. Trim with fruit. Sip with straws.

Champagne Cobbler.
Dissolve one lump sugar in a long thin glass with a little water,

Those with the addition of the whites of eggs are called sherbets.

Sherbets which are of a smooth, fine texture, but only half frozen,

icy texture, are called granites.

Frozen punches are made by adding liquor to the ices either before
