Strain in a saucer- shaped champagne glass using an ordinary kitchen wire strainer. Shake from side to side and tap rim of the strainer with spoon to force the fine icy particles through the mesh.

It must be whirred to its icy smoothness with an electric drink-mixer—^the kind used in making a malted milk. It is also called "West Indies Cocktail." Sixty-one
