4 2 HAYWOOD'S MIXOLOGY. MARASCHINO DI ZARA (Cordial.)— A distillation of a specie of berry or cherry known as mahaleb, which is prepared in Italy. It is put up in straw-covered bottles and exported to this country. There are a few imitations. KIRSHWASSER (Cordial.)— A distilled liquor resultant from fermentation of little black cherries. ORPORTO — A Portugese wine highly recommended by physicians when it is possible to obtain it in its purity; com- monly known as port wine. ORGEAT (Cordial.) — Extract barley and sweet almonds. APPLE WATER. — The same for any of the fruits, viz.: Pears, peaches, plums, French prunes, figs, raisins, rhubarb, etc. — Boil a large, juicy apple, (pared, cored and cut into pieces) in a pint of water in a close-covered saucepan, until the apple is stewed into a pulp. Strain the liquor, pressing all the juice from the pulp. Sweeten to taste. Sometimes these fruit- waters are made with rice or barley water. To be drank cold. BARLEY WATER.— Add to a pint of boiling water half a tablespoonful (half an ounce) of barley, rubbed smooth, with two tablespoonfuls of cold water; add also a pinch of salt and a tablespoonful of sugar. Let it boil five minutes. It is to be drank cold. The simple barley water has not an unpleasant taste, and is often prepared without additional flavor. Yet the rind of a lemon, or lump sugar rubbed over it, to extract the oil, can be added as flavoring, or a lemonade may be made of barley water. Barley water may be used temporarily instead of milk. BEEF TEA. — Use a hot water glass. One-quarter tea- spoonful of the best beef extract; fill the glass with hot water; stir up well with a spoon, place pepper, salt and celery salt handy, and if the customer should require it, put in a small pony of sherry wine or brandy. CALIFORNIA WINES.— The demand for these exceeds the supply, thus making the old and matured wines very scarce. California produces 22,000,000 gallons yearly. CURACOA. — A liquor or cordial flavored with orange peel, cinnamon and mace. It derives its name from the is- lands of Curacoa, where it is best made. DUBLIN STOUT.— Essentially the same as ale, with the exception of having malt browned, and being usually heavier in body.
