Brandy Straight.

(Use small bar-glass.)

In serving this drink you simply put a piece of ice in a tumbler, and hand it to your customer, with the bottle of brandy and a separate glass of ice water. "Whiskey Straight and Gin Straight are served in the same manner.

Pony Brandy.

(Use small bar-glass.

Take 1 pony-glass of brandy (best). Pour it into the glass, and serve with some ice-water in a separate glass. Some bar-tenders have a fancy way of serving this drink. It is done thusly : Fill to the brim a pony-glass of brandy, cover it with the bar-glass, then press both glasses tightly together and turn them over quickly, so that the pony- glass will remain upside down in the bar-glass, with- out a drop of the brandy escaping.

Brandy and Soda.

f

(Use large soda-water glass.)

Take 1 wine-glass of brandy. 2 or 3 small lumps of ice. Fill up the glass with a bottle of plain soda-water. This is sometimes called Stone Wall.
