CATAWBA COBBLER This is a delightful cobbler and can be served either in a large or tall slender tumbler, depending on the size of drink you wish. Fill glass half full of shaved ice and pour in a tablespoon of"gum," filling balance of glass to within a half inch of top with Catawba Wine. Stir well and crown top with berries or fruits. Sip through straws or glass sippers. BRANDY SANGAREE Stir in small tumbler containing a tablespoon of shaved ice, two ounces of brandy, an ounce of carbonated water and a teaspoon of "gum." Strain into small wine glass and top with grated nutmeg or powdered cinnamon. A bit of Sherry floated on top before adding the powdered spice is very agreeable. HOW TO MAKE A HORSE'S NECK For the Horse's Neck you need a tall straight glass of the highball type, but slightly larger. That's the reason for the name. It should have been a "Giraffe's Neck" because the drink is so "long." Anyway, here's how: Carefully cut the rind of a whole lemon, starting at one end and slicing in a spiral fashion to end the cutting at the other end. Place this spiral of yellow skin in glass, letting one end rest on top rim of glass and the spiral winding downward to bottom of glass. Now a few lumps or cubes of ice, an ovmce of rye whisky (sometimes omitted entirely) and fill glass to brim with cold ginger ale. The bit of whisky prevents this drink from being insipid to the man who fikes a small"kick" on a hot day. THE HORSE'S NECK STIFF Do as above but add to contents a good two-ounce drink of any kind of whisky you prefer. MIXING A MISSISSIPPIFLOAT Use a 12-ounce thin glass and pour in one oimce of Grenadine and two ounces of Chartreuse, adding juice of a quarter lemon and a teaspoon of"gum." Fill glass third full
