Cincinnati Cocktail.

Use large bar glass.

One-half glass of beer. One-half glass of soda or ginger ale. This is a particularly palatable drink for warm weather.

Champagne Cocktail.

Pint bottle of wine makes three drinks. Take one lump of sugar. One or two dashes of Angostura bitters. One small lump of ice. Fill the goblet with wine, stir up with a spoon, and serve with a thin piece of twisted lemon peel. A quart bottle of wine will make six cocktails. Coffee Cocktail. Use large bar glass. Take one teaspoonful powdered white sugar. One fresh egg. One large wine-glass of port wine. One pony of brandy. Two or three lumps of ice. Break the egg into the glass, put in the sugar, and lastly the port wine, brandy and ice. Shake up very thoroughly and strain into a medium bar goblet. Grate a little nutmeg on top before serving. The name of this drink is a misnomer, as coffee and bitters are not to be found among its ingredients, but it looks like coffee when it has been properly con cocted, and hence probably its name. 143–
