introduce the yolk of a raw egg with a spoon without disturbing the Maraschino; next carefully surround the egg with vanilla cordial, and lastly pour a tablespoonful of fine old brandy on top. Be careful not to mix the in– gredients. This requires a steady hand, but the drink is heavenly." MISS VIVIENNE SEGAL, famous star of light opera. " This exquisite mixture has always been my favorite. Three quarters of a cordial glass full of Benedictine. The balance rich sweet cream. I believe it is known as ' Creme Benedictine.' " JOHN CLARKE, Ziegfeld star. " Side Car Punch, as it is made in London is hard to forget. For a party of ten, slice four oranges and a juicy pineapple into a punch bowl. Pour a bottle of fine Cognac brandy over them and let it steep for a few hours; then pour in three bottles of iced Champagne and serve im– mediately. A marvelous concoction! " YVONNE D'ARLE, musical comedienne. " I still prefer the old, reliable Clover Club Cocktail. They are mixing it now even at Deauville. In a shaker place a pony of dry gin, juice of half a lime, white of a raw egg, and a spoonful of Grenadine. Fill with ice, shake and strain into a cocktail glass. When serving it should be garnished with a sprig of fresh mint."
