1902 The Cocktail Book a Sideboard Manual for Gentlemen

preparing the recipes contained in this %y little book, it is almost superfluous to add that in order to ensure the best results none but the best ingredients should be used. IBLNYgood brands of spiritsare satisfactory in thepreparatio7i ofcocktails, but a word of warning is necessary as regards the Bitters, in cotisequence of the unscrupulous way in which these have been hnitated. 'ONE but the genuine Dr Siegert's Angostura Bitters should be used. This can beobtainedfrom any respectable wine-merchant or stores. Stress is laid on this point because it is chiefly to the Angostura Bitters that the delicious flavour and tonic properties of the well-made cocktail are due.
