Observations

Care should be observed in the amount of lime juice used in this cocktail. Only a few drops are really needed, as too much will tend to sour the drink to excess and thereby spoil its taste. Cointreau has a very strong flavor, and care in its use is also recommended. Too much of this liqueur may over-dominate the flavor as a whole. Properly made, this is an excellent cocktail.

Box Car Same, with Whiskey instead of Brandy.
