EAWLING'S MIXED DRINKS

HOT DRINKS.

When tired, cold, or after exposure in wet weather, a hot drink is "just what the doctor ordered." It should not be taken just before going out into the cold air; in fact, it has its most beneficial effect if taken just before re tiring. When serving hot drinks use a thin glass, preferably one of the long- stemmed kind made especially for hot liquids. To hold the heat it should be first filled with hot water; if a common glass is used put in a spoon before the water to prevent cracking the glass. If the drink is too hot to serve do not im pair the flavor by using ice, but pour the contents from one glass to another several times. As sugar is not readily dissolved in liquor, mix it with a little hot water first.
