Same as the foregoing, substituting Old Tom, instead of the Holland gin.

 

Made the same way as the Improved Brandy Cocktail substituting Holland or Old Tom gin for the brandy.

 

To make a splendid bottle of brandy cocktail, use the following ingredients:

Take ⅔ brandy.

4 water.

⅓ pony-glass of Boker’s bitters.

1 wine-glass of gum syrup.

½ pony-glass of CuraçoaCuraçao [sic].

The author has always used this recipe in compounding the above beverage for connoisseurs. Whiskey and gin cocktails, in bottles, may be made by using the above recipe, and substituting those liquors instead of brandy.

 

Take 1 lump of sugar.

1 or 2 dashes Angostura bitters.

1 small lump of ice.
