1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

Rickeys 81 been added. Drink or sip it as you will, but on a hot day, when enjoying it, give a silent toast to the long dead good fellow who devised this refreshing and cooling beverage. MIXING A COCOA RICKEY Here's one for the ladies especially, bless their hearts! To mix a Cocoa Fizz pour over afew cubes of ice one and a half ounces of Creme de Cocoa, using a ten-ounce glass. Add a half ounce of sweet mUk and a tablespoonful of "gum." Now,a small scoop of ice cream and charge it with a stream of vichy or seltzer. This isn't particularly recom mended as a man's drink. MIXING A BRANDY RICKEY That tall, thin goblet comes into service again with its cracked or diced ice for the Brandy Rickey. Pour over the ice two ounces of brandy (any kind) and add a teaspoon of lime or lemon juice. Fill with stream of seltzer or vichy, and drink. MIXING A SOUR RICKEY Into a tall,thin goblet put the juice of a half lemon,add finely shaved ice to one third the height of glass. Now an ounce of Jamaica rum,an ounce of Arrack,two half slices of lemon and a stream of vichy or seltzer to fill glass. Don't use sugar. MIXING A RUM RICKEY Into a thin,tall goblet containing ice cubes or cracked ice pour two ounces of rum (any kind) and add a teaspoon of lime or lemon juice (preferably lime). FiU with stream of seltzer or vichy, stir slightly, crown with half shce of lime and enjoy your drink. MIXING A WHISKY RICKEY For the Whisky Rickey you may use either Rye, Scotch, Irish or Bourbon, pouring two ounces on the cracked ice or cubes in your thin goblet and filling with stream of vichy or seltzer. It's a simple drink to make and especially suitable with the other rickeysfor the"dog days"or after a hotround of golf.
