Observations

This is a real old-timer, named after that worthy district of up-town New York City. Gin is a liquor of moderate alcoholic strength. distilled from grain and flavored by the juniper berry. It plays a part in at least one-third of the mixed drinks now current. It needs no ageing. French Vermouth is a dry wine of a common variety and, like Italian (sweet) Vermouth, is widely used in the making of cocktails.
