1930 The Drinks of Yesteryear a Mixology

••• .. ,r

Cobblers and Coolers Cobblers and Coolers were drinks for real hot weather– and since a lemonade glass was used (a long, long one) and lots of ice-they catered to the craving for a "big, cold some– thing." Cobblers and Coolers were exceptionally popular in our National Capital and, of course, were generally in high favor throughout the South. But, they had many, many acquaintances wherever and whenever the thermometer registered high. The Swnmer night dance, the tennis match the Nineteenth Hole and the tourist stop were some of th~ occasions for their enjoyment. For purposes of classification, the Author has placed under the head of Cobblers the drinks kin to them and known as "Tom Collins," "J osie Collins," "Gin Ginger," "Mamie Taylor," "South Side," "East Side," "Horse's Neck" and "Horse's Collar." Sherry. Use lemonade glass ; one spoonful of sugar; add very little water; mix together; fill glass with fine ice; then pour in a good drink of Sherry Wine and garnish with fruit in season; use no lemon juice at all. Port. Use same set-up only employing Port Wine instead of Sherry. Champagne. Use same set-up without water; very little ice; add lemon and orange peel; garnish with cherries or berries; use a quart of Champagne to four large glasses. Tokay.
