1925 Summer Drinks and Winter Codials by C F Leyel

PREFACE THrs book is intended for people with limited incomes, but the drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholi c, if made 11·ith good materials need no apology eve n as an accompan iment to a French dinner. The recipes cont ain no brandy or other spirits, as their price at the presen t time makes them prohibitive, but the book gi\·es all the newest Ameri ca n drinks, as well as the good old-fa shioned English ones. Good claret cup, and cups made of other French 11·in es , cos t to -day less than good beer, and the fruit punch es and cups withou t any alcolwl are deli ciously refreshing and beau tiful to look at. Rec ipes are also given for the various fruit syrups and vinega rs which are to-day necessary ingred ients of many popular summer and wint er drinks. Th ese are much cheaper and better made at home, and involve ve ry little time and trouble. v
