ABBREVIATIONS SHAKE AND STRAIN.—The term " Shake and Strain " is used to denote that the mixture should be shaken in the Cocktail Shaker until the outside of the Shaker becomes moist with cold. After this the mixture should be strained from the Shaker into the Cocktail glass. Mix.—Mix is used to describe the method of placing some ice in a large mixing glass or heavy pint glass, in which should be placed some cracked ice. After pouring in the recipe mix it rapidly with the ice until it is cold, when strain into the Cocktail glass. STIR.—This denotes the same method as shown under Mix. FROST.—To frost a glass first rub the rim of the glass on a cut lemon. Then dip the glass into powdered sugar, which will give it the necessary frosted appearance.
