Pour in a bottle of plain soda, mix up well, remove the ice and serve. Care must be taken not to let the foam of the soda water run over the glass while pouring it in. This drink must be taken as soon as mixed or it will loose its flavor. BLUE BLAZER. (Use a large mug with a handle to it.) •J pony glass of honey or rock candy; 1/2 wine glass syrup; 1 wine glass of whiskey (Scotch). Mix well with a little hot water and put it over the fire and have it boiled up; set the liquid on fire, and take it quick and pour it from one mug to the other, pour it so about three or four times in long streams, until it is well mixed; grate a little nutmeg on top; this will have the appearance of a continual stream of fire. Attention must be paid to prevent the fire from spread- ing over your hands; pour it into a large size hot water glass, put a slice of lemon into it, and serve. This is a very elegant drink in cold weather and has a wonderful effect of healing an old cold, especially when the party goes to bed soon after drinking it. ALE SANGAREE. (Use a large bar glass.) 1 tablespoonful of sugar; 1/2 wine glass of water, dissolve with a spoon. Fill up the balance with ale, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve. It is customary to ask the customer if he desires old, new or mixed ale; if he desires new ale, you must pre- vent the foam from running over the glass; attention must also be paid to the temperature of the ale, so as to have it not too cold or too warm.
