218 HOW TO SERVE A PONY GLASS OP BRANDY. (Use a pony glass.) In serving this drink, hand out the pony glass filled with brandy (Martell), also a whiskey glass, into which the brandy is emptied, a glass of ice water and a little separate ice to cool the brandy. The latest style of serving a pony of brandy is to place the pony at the edge of the counter, then take a whiskey tum- bler upside down in the left hand, and place it over the pony glass of brandy, then reverse the glass as well as the pony glass containing the brandy, so as to have the stem of the pony glass on top and the brandy at the bottom of the whiskey glass, in order to be convenient for the customer. (See illustration, plate No. 2.) HOT GIN SLING. (Use a hot water glass.) 1 piece of loaf sugar, dissolve in a little water; 1 wine glass of Holland gin; Fill up the balance with hot water; Stir with a spoon, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve. Add a slice of lemon if the customer desires it.

BOMBAY PUNCH. (Use a large bowl.)

Rub the sugar over the lemons until it has ab- sorbed all the yellow part of the skins of 6 lemons, then put in the punch bowl: 1 pound of loaf sugar; 2 bottles of imported selters water;

1 pineapple, cut into slices; 6 oranges, cut into slices;
