COCKTAILS. In making cocktails always use a cocktail bitter, and not the common stomach or Stoughton, as cocktail bit- ters are made of spices, and give that pure racy taste that you cannot get from an herb bitter. There are some very good cocktail bitters that come cheap enough to be used by all good first-class bars, and you should never be without them, as it takes but a few drops to flavor a real good cocktail that would taste flat without it . We name Bogart's, Angostoria, (imported, but fine.) Brady's Cocktail Bitters. Golden 44 44 All of which are very fine , and to be relied on at all times as pure and good.
