Observations

As the principal ingredients in this drink are sweet wines, it will have the character of despon dency if nothing is added to liven it up. Orange Bitters give it that needed vivacity and gayness. However, Orange Bitters, a very strong and pen etrating aromatic, should be handled with great care. Very little is needed, and an overdose will spoil any drink. The similarity of color in the component parts of this drink gives it a rather dusky,yellowish tint, resembling that of the bam boo tree. Hence the name.
