THE "75°

4 parts Gin 1 part Benedictine 1 ~ parts lemon juice.

Make the following essence: To a jigger of whiskey add a demi-tasse spoon of powdered ginger, and one of pow– dered clove, then add one level teaspoon of powdered cinnamon. Stir this together and let it stand about a day. Add ~ teaspoon of this essence to each shaker of "75" cock– tails. This is a delicious cocktail, excellent m quality, but dangerous in quantity.

Japanese pretzels go well with this one. Serve plenty of them in a deep dish. Most guests like them, and they lead you on more than salted peanuts do.
