METROPOLE

The old Hotel l\ifetropole used to recommend this one. And we warn you to be careful if you can take advantage of this offer. They taste so good, and so smooth. But Daddy, hO\v they make you feel!

METROPOLITAN

Another reason for the migration from the farms to the cities. Imagine a farmer trying to equal this with his jug of moonshine, after a hard day's work. . ·-· . No Bartender's Guide would be complete without a~ least on~ _authentic Mint Julep. Here we give the ongrnal Kentucky l\1int Julep. Many leave out the Rum, suh ! But the Rum should be there. (What an argument th at statement is going to cause.)

MINT JULEP NO. 1

MINT JULEP NO. 2

The genuine Georgia l\1int Julep permits no care– lessness. You've got to follow instructions to the letter, or you'll spoil it. \\That's more, you'll offend eve ry Southern gentleman alive if you do. Georgia and Kentucky have been battling over the com– parative merits of these two Juleps for years, and for fear of our lives, suh , we'd hesitate to express our opinion, other than that they are both delicious.
