THE BARTENDER'S FRIEND

Cognac Brandy of all brandies is perhaps the most worthy of that name. It gets its name from the fact that it is pro duced from grapes growing near Cognac, France. How ever, there is a tendency to apply the name to all French brandies. (See Brandy.) Creme de Cacao is a French cordial or liqueur of which cocoa is the flavoring or distinguishing base. Curagao is a Dutch liqueur made principally in Holland. It comes either dry or sweet. The distinguishing ingredient is the Curasao orange which grows in the Island of Curagao, a Dutch possession north of Venezuela, South America. The peel of this orange is crushed and distilled with brandy and water to produce the liqueur which contains between 35 and 40% of alcohol. One variety of Curagao is known as "Grand Marnier." Dantziger Goldwasser is a sweet liqueur manufactured in Danzig, Germany. Dry Gin is gin which is not sweetened. Some of the best dry gin is produced in England through the redistillation of highly rectified spirits at which time the flavorings such as juniper and coriander are introduced. (See Gin.) Dubonnet is the name of a sweet French Vermouth. (See Vermouth.) It contains quinine.

Fernet Branca is a kind of bitters.

French Vermouth is a dry or unsweetened Vermouth made from fortified white wine. It contains about 17% of alcohol by volume. (See Vermouth.) ni83
