Stir well with a spoon strain into a sour glass, orna- ment with fruit, etc., and serve. This is an old Boston drink, and has the reputation of being cooling and pleasant.

3/4 tablespoonful of sugar; 3 or 4 dashes of lime or lemon juice; 3 or 4 pieces of broken ice; 1 wine glass of Old Tom gin (genuine only); 1 bottle of plain soda water.

Mix well with a spoon, remove the ice, and serve. Attention must be paid not to let the foam of the soda water spread over the glass; this drink must be drank as soon as mixed in order not to let it get stale and lose its flavor.

This drink can also be put up in bottles for the fisherman to take along, so that he will lose no time while fishing.
