ooe to THO SOAK The horse and mule live thirty years, They never drink light wine and beers.

The goat and sheep at twenty die. With ne'er a taste of Scotch or Rye.

The dog at-fifteen cashes in. Without the aid of Rum or Gin. The cat on milk and water thrives. But then at twelve it's had nine lives.

The modest, sober, bone-dry hen. Lays eggs for years, and dies at ten. Most birds at five years pass away. Far, far from alcohol they stay.

✓ /

The flies but few days stay on earth. They never know the Cocktails' worth. All animals are strictly dry, They sinless live and swiftly die^" ^

But, sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men. Survive for three score years and ten. Whilst some of us, but mighty few. Stay pickled till we're ninety-two.

Before you delve into the mysteries of what the Cocktail Shaker may hold, may I first intro duce myself, and tell you a little about this pleasant form of drink ing. My name? Well, I expect you will find it somewhere in the book. My experience? Some 25 years be

CoMiue

hind bars—No! Not the iron ones—just counter bars.

Briefly to span the years, my fifteenth birthday already found me at sea, with every intention of making it my career. Although my original idea was to become a ship's officer, fate deemed it otherwise, and three years later I became a ship's bar-tender. During the years that followed, life became more and more interesting. What could have been better than travelling round the world, in such wonderful ships as the " Empress of Scot land," " Empress of Australia " and " Empress of Britain," meeting countless famous people, and having the great honour and privilege of mixing drinks for Royalty—the Prince of Wales, Duke of Kent and the Duke of Gloucester. Although throughout the summer months these grand ladies of the sea ploughed their way back and forth, from Southamp ton to Canada on the Mail Run, the winters found us cruising into tropical waters, and to summarise, my own travels con sisted of: four world cruises, three West Indies cruises, three Mediterranean cruises and three Norwegian cruises. In 1934 I came ashore and went as head bar-tender at Berkeley Hotel until April, 1936, when bitten again by the travel bug, I opened the first cocktail bar in Dublin, at the Royal Hibernian Hotel. At the end of the year I returned to London and took over as head bar-tender at the London Casino until New Year's Eve, 1938. In January, 1939, I was engaged as head bar-tender at the Savoy Hotel, where I remained until 1940, when, like many others, I exchanged my shaker for a gun. I joined the Royal Artillery as a Gunner.

EDDIE MIXING ONE OF HIS SPECIALITY SOFT DRINKS FOR THE FAMOUS CRICKETING BEDSER TWINS

I was released in 1946 from H.M. Service, still in the Gunners, but holding the rank of Captain, and within two weeks I was back with my old pal " the shaker " in charge of the Cocktail Bar at the Royal Clarence Hotel, Exeter. At the end of September I left to take over at the " Albany Club," where apart from a short break I have been ever since. There would not be room in this book to list the countless personalities and celebrities who have lingered at my bar during seven very happy years, here at the " Albany Club. It has, and probably always will be, the meeting-place of the famous. Here again I have had the distinguished honour of attending to the refreshments of H.R.H. Duke of Edinburgh, and on another occasion Lord Louis Mountbatten. Finally, I would like to pay tribute to my " Boss "—Mr. Bill Little, the proprietor of the " Albany Club." It has been his wonderful personality, showmanship and Irish brogue which has been the drawing force of this world-renowned club. Probably the day is not too far distant when I shall open my own club. When it does dawn, I shall take with me and cherish all those memories of the " Albany "—and foremost in them will be my very happy association with the " Boss."

TACK/NC COCKTAiCS

I WAS indeed fortunate in my travels, for it allowed me to collect recipes from all over the world, and I submit quite a few for your interest and delectation, together with many old favourites which have withstood the test of time and are today just as popular as ever. Probably, you have wondered many times who invented the first cocktail—I have also, because no one really knows—but I give you a possible story. It comes from Mexico, where once upon a time there lived a King, wise in the knowledge of wine and men. From a far- off land one day there came to the Palace, not the fairy-book Prince, but an American General, on a military mission. It seemed quite likely that it was touch and go that the military cannon would open up. The wise old King decided on a second front and called for his own special blend of local brew, which was indeed a very potent mixture. But that was not all. Remember, the King also knew all about men, especially visiting American Generals, so what better trump card could he play than have his beautiful daughter Coctel to serve the drinks. Needless to say, from then on the discussions progressed more smoothly and the General departed to leave the King, daughter and subjects to live happily ever after. The story had a sequence, because some long time after the General returned to his native land and he never forgot that pleasant interlude in Mexico—probably he talked in his sleep and excused himself by claiming that it was the name of the drink he had carelessly uttered. Anyhow, it could in later years develop from Coctel into Cocktail. That is the end of the story. Many ill-informed people think that the mixing of present- day cocktails is only a matter of placing some ice in a shaker and pouring in any available ingredients which happen to be at hand. Then after accomplishing various acrobatic antics with the shaker, the devilish brew is served to some unsuspect ing guest. How wrong these unfortunate people are! Cock-

tails must be blended much in the same way as an artist blends his colours. In the perfect blend of cocktail no ingredient is predominant to the palate. There are some 8,000 known recipes of mixed drinks, but these are not all cocktails, though the term in its present-day elastic sense may be used to cover them all. Every single one has its specific place in the ritual of drinking. Let us examine the classifications in detail. Perhaps the best known is the aperitif. As its name suggests the whole object is to stimulate the appetite and so it must possess two main qualifications: it must first please the eye, for the eye is the first safeguard of the palate; secondly, it must have a clear and immediate eflfect, leaving the drinker wanting another. A few of the most popular are: "Dry Martini," "Manhattan," " Gin and Dubonnet." Broadly speaking, these drinks are not shaken, but stirred in the mixing glass. Possibly the largest group in the mixed drink classes is the one generally covered by the term " cocktail." It is not always appreciated that this type of drink can be taken after a meal, for its digestive effect, though this is seen to be quite reason able when one realises that one of the ingredients in this group is always a liqueur. " Sidecar," " Classic," " Brandy Crusta " are typical examples. It is necessary to sub-divide the remaining vast numbers of drinks which are classed under the heading of mixed drinks, i.e.: The " Sour," with its essential sharp and cleaning effect on the palate. The " Cobbler," with its particular appeal to the eye, brought about by the lavishness of its decoration, with the generous use of fruit. For those who like a little effervescence with their drinks there are, of course, the " Fizzes," this effect being produced by using either a little soda water or at least one sparkling ingredient. When I state that in a " Flip " an egg must be one of the elements, I leave readers to use their imagination as to when this drink may be taken; and, of course, the same applies to the " Noggs," which in addition contain milk. Who has not in the heat of the day enjoyed one or more of these long drinks, which come under a heading of their own—let us term them " Coolers." Remember that they must have two main qualities: they must be cold and as attractive as possible.

COCKTAIL Success'

\y Some Reminiscences by Eddie

Cocktails are definitely coming into vogue again, after the somewhat hard-to-get ingredient years following the last World War. Therefore, I feel the time is appropriate to offer a few hints to the host or hostess, who is planning one of those little parties at home which are always good fun. The biggest trouble is always to find a good excuse for such an occasion. Also beginners in my own profession may find a few reminders of some assistance. One vital point to remember is that a good cocktail makes a success of your party, despite the gloomiest guest, and to the " Man-behind-the-Bar" it. is a sure foundation to better business. Before we commence to concoct this pleasant way to success we must be, as in all things, properly equipped. As with all skilled trades the best work is done with the right tools, and I suggest the minimum requirements are as follows: — WHAT THE WELL-DRESSED BAR SHOULD WEAR — At least 2 Cocktail Shakers (one for blends which include highly flavoured ingredients, and the other for the lighter types). 1 Boston Shaker for mixing noggs, flips and sours, etc., which require more extensive shaking and therefore more shaking space. 1 Mixing Glass, for stirring clear drinks, i.e. Martinis, Manhattans, etc. 6 Bar Spoons. Always ensure that these long-type spoons have a small disc at the end of the handle for use as a muddler, just in case you cannot obtain the real thing. 2 Strainers, special bar type, handled and wire rimmed. 4 Bitter Bottles with sprinkler tops; one for each of the following bitters: angostura, orange, peach and absinthe. Fruit knife and board; corkscrew; bottle openers; a funnel; cherry sticks; drinking straws; swizzle sticks; ice pick; ice shaver, ice bowl and tongs; fruit squeezer, and glass stirrers. Also always have a tray handy.

10

GLASSWARE Fine glasses add to the enjoyment of fine drinks. Never use thick, small or coloured glasses, it is a sacrilege to any drink. Remember also never fill the glasses to the brim; they have to be carried by a waiter or raised to the lips of the drinker. So give the shaking hand a little assistance and maybe you will save cleaners' bills as well as the carpets. Cocktail Glasses Size 2 to 3 oz. Glass should be stemmed, it is easy to hold, and the heat of the hand does not warm the drink. Sherry Glass Size 2 to 3 oz. Also stemmed. Champagne Glass Size 6 oz. Stemmed with bowl shape container.

Claret Glass

Size 5 to 6 oz. Stemmed Goblet.

Hock Glass

Size 5 to 6 oz. Long stemmed.

Brandy Glass Size 8 to 40 oz. Short stemmed, huge bowl shape. Liqueur Glass Size 1 to 2 oz. Stemmed and small bowl shape. Old Fashioned Glass Size 4 to 6 oz. Squat barrel shape with ultra-thick bottom and strong sides.

Highball Glass

Size 8 to 10 oz.

Tall narrow tumbler.

Collins Glass

Size 10 to 14 oz. Tall tumbler.

Goblet Glass Size 8 to 10 oz. Stemmed and round bowl shaped. Tumbler Glass Size 8 to 10 oz. Tall, fairly straight glass

1. Always use clean ice and place it in the shaker first, it prevents overflowing if you have over-estimated the ingredients. Always measure the ingredients accurately to obtain perfect blending. Always leave room in the shaker for shaking. Never fill more than three-quarters full. Don't rock the shaker to sleep! A short, sharp, snappy action is sufficient. In the case of noggs and flips, etc., a little longer shaking is required, but in no case longer than fifteen to twenty seconds. Always pour the cocktails into chilled glasses. This will ensure that the cocktail is served ice cold. And don't fill the glasses too full. 5.

6. Cocktails should be drunk as soon as possible after serving and whilst they have that fresh glowing sparkle, otherwise the blending of the ingredients will deteriorate. 7. Make the drink as attractive as possible, because in variably when you please the eye you please the palate. 8. Always use granulated sugar for sweetening. On no account use icing sugar. Better still, use Gomme syrup if available. 9. If the recipe calls for stirring, then stir! Otherwise the drink will become cloudy if the shaker is used, instead of crystal clear. 10. Finally, never giv^ to anyone else something you wouldn't drink yourself

Even the mildest of Coc tai^ Parties could become a little hilarious without the aid of Wotting paper," and it is with that thought in mind that I submit herewith a few interesting and easy to make snacks for such occasions. Serve the following on thin toast, cut daintily and masked with Aspic: Smoked Salmon, Anchovies, Sardines, Prawns, Ham and Tongue. Also on thin toast, minus the Aspic: Caviar and Pole Gras. Scatter around the tables on small dishes the always popular Cheese Straws, Salted Almonds and Cashew Nuts, Olives, Potato Crisps, and Celery stuffed with Cream Cheese Served hot: Chippolata Sausages, small Sausage Rolls.

13

SPECIAL DISHES

Toasted Crab Meat Spread on toast strips or cream crackers some crab meat mixed with a little pimento, chili sauce and celery salt. This mixture can be used in pastry shells heated under the grill for a few minutes. Olives rolled in Bacon Using large-sized olives stuffed with pimento, roll in a islice of bacon, secure with toothpicks and bake in a hot oven. Oysters and Mushrooms Take a fresh oyster and place in a large mushroom that has been peeled. Roll in olive oil or butter, garnish with salt, pepper, paprika and a little celery salt. After placing under a hot grill, serve on toast. Canapy Margury Having prepared some pieces of toast, chop together 1 hard boiled egg, 6 fillets of anchovies, 1 peeled tomato, 2 oz. of tuna fish. Spread on toast, adding a spoonful of Russian dressing. Sprinkle with Worcestershire sauce. Pickle Dillies Cut circular pieces of bread, lay one or two slices of dill pickle on each piece of bread. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake in oven until cheese melts. Serve hot. Ham and Cheese Rolls U.se thin slices of ham spread with a mixture of cooking cheese and cream cheese. Roll and fasten with toothpicks, place in fridge until firm enough to slice. Then cut fresh tomatoes into slices, cut bread circles to the same size as the circles. Toast the bread and spread with a little butter and mayonnaise. Place a tomato slice on top of each piece of toast. Cut ham and cheese roll in thin slices and place one on top of each tomato slice.
