A 2-quart bar glass for larger orders, say, eight drinks, should be on band also. Liquors must be measured into the bar glass and cracked ice put in after, though most direetions say to fill the glass with ice first. A few marks on the outside of the glass, made with a glass cutter so faint that they are not visible to the guest, are helpful in the beginning. Beginners should practice with tea or coffee or any other colored fluid until thef have acquired proficiency in measur– ing the liquors that make up the mixed drinks. When drawing a cork from bottles of effervescent liquids, hold the bottle in an oblique position and after the cork is removed, continue to hold in that way for a few moments and then set it upright. After twisting lemon peel over a cocktail throw it in or leave it out, as you prefer. The flavor will be the same in both cases.
