THE BARTENDER'S FRIEND

Loaf or lump sugar is used in the old fashioned cocktails.

Where sugar is to be used in a hot drink, first dissolve it in just enough hot water.

Where sugar is to be used in a cold drink, first dissolve it in just enough cold water, except you are to shake the drink with fine ice. Before putting an egg into the ingredient glass, break it into a separate container without the view of the customer. This is to determine its freshness, and may avoid nauseating him.

Do not stir egg or milk into spirits—:Stir the spirits into them to prevent curdling.

Before using a glass for a hot drink, rinse it in warm water and put into it a spoon to prevent breaking. Thin glasses are best for hot drinks. In using bitters put in a minimum. You can always add, if desired, but you cannot take away.

In filling a wine glass always leave about ^ inch at top.

Do not shake a drink containing an effervescent. Stir it.

When a number of drinks are to be prepared, some of which will contain seltzer water or other effervescent, mix the effer vescent drinks last.
