Fill the glass half full of Ale, and the remaining half with Irish ginger ale.

In England, where this drink had its origin, it is made with Bass’ ale, and Ginger ale, half and half.

 

Mix half old and half new ale together.

This is the American method.

 

Mix porter or Stout, with Ale in equal quantities, or in proportions to suit the taste.

This is the English method, and usually, “draw it mild, Mary, the ale first.”

 

Take 1 pony-glass of Absinthe.

Fill an absinthe glass, (which is a glass made purposely with a hole in the bottom), with shaved ice and water. Raise this glass about one foot above the tumbler containing the absinthe, and let sufficient water drip into it.
