1906 Louis' Mixed Drinks with Hints for the Care & Serving of Wines by Louis Muckensturm

NOTE

A cherry can be added to practically every cocktail, excepting where the cocktail is wanted extra dry. In that case olives can be used, but I do not recommend them unless they are first wiped. The water in which olives come contains a certain amount of acid,for the purpose of preserving, and if it gets into a cocktail will usually give an unpleasant taste to the drink. If cocktaU cherries get fiat or spoiled, add to a quart of cherries and their liquid two liqueur-glasses of alcohol and six lumps of sugar. If cocktail stuffed olives turn black and float, change water in which the oUves are and add a teaspoonful of salt to a quart of water. This will bring them back to their natural colour.
