What Shall We Drink?

MIXING A GRAPE FRUIT RICKEY Follow same directions as for Orange Rickey,except that you use dash of lemon sjnrup instead of orange bitters and grape fruit juice instead of orange juice. MIXING AN ORANGE RICKEY Into a large goblet or high shell, at your pleasure, pour the juice of one orange. Fill glass one third full of finely shaved ice. Now two dashes of orange bitters, an ounce and a half of sweet gin, an ounce of kuemmel, a tablespoon of "gum." Stir in ice to mix,then fiU glass with vichy or seltzer stream. Top with a half slice of fresh lime. MIXING A PEACH RICKEY Usea high shell,fill quarter full with cracked ice, cover ice with a tablespoonful of Peach Cordial, add two ounces of Peach Brandy and one dash of Noyeau to give it a pleasant nutty flavor of bitter almond. A half slice of lemon or a whole thin slice of lime now goes in and the glass is fiUed to brim with seltzer or vichy or carbonated water, whichever you may have. Some use White Rock water. Regardless of what you use, even if it's sweet soda water, you'll like this rickey immensely. MIXING A GRENADINE RICKEY Into your glass as above pour one ounce of Grenadine and a teaspoonful of lemon or lime juice. Add an ounce and a half of gin, dry or sweet, and fill glass with stream of seltzer or vichy, stirring well before drinking. MIXING A SLOE GIN RICKEY Here is one of the most delightful of the Rickey family— the Sloe Gin Rickey. Let's try to make one. Use a highball glass for this drink and into it put some cracked ice on which pour one teaspoon lemon juice or two teaspoons of lime juice. Then add two ounces of sloe gin and fill glass to brim with stream of seltzer or vichy. It's easy,eh? And whata cold drink for a perspiring day!
