Cocktail

Ifit is a question ofhow many mixed drinks there are, do not worry about it, because they run into astronomical figures—roughly to my knowledge some 8,000. But at least two thirds ofthem may be ruled out as unfit for the delicate human constitution. They may be mixed, then used as a powerful detergent for destroying an army of germs down some evil smelling drain. These potions are generally the invention ofsome cocktailcrank, or a sadist bartender, with a grudge against mankind and therefore wishing to outdo the potentialities ofthe dreaded H bomb.
