interesting ana Informative Tor the
person who knows nothing Of the new
drinks. I am going to repeat here a
few of the things which might be we'll
to know. According to Boffo, there
are FIVE MAJOR CLASSIFICA-
TIONS of alcoholic beverages. They
are: APERITIFS, which, as the name
implies, are appetizers, taken before
a meal; WINES, which are usually
the liquid accompaniment of food;
DIGESTIVES; STIMULANTS, such
as whiskey; and MATTED beverages,
such as beer. White wines, either
sweet or dry, are served with the
early dinner courses. Red, dry wines
are served with entree and roast.
Liquaurs or champagne are served
with dessert. White wines should
be served chilled, Red wines should be
served at room temperature, and
Champagnes should be served ice cold.
The principal types of wines can be
classified according to COLOR, white
or red; according to TASTE, sweet
or dry, and according to whether they
BUBBLE or not, still or sparkling.
Boffo advises that most beginners
should drink SWEET wine. Among
the GIN COCKTAILS most popular
are the MARTINI and the BRONX.
The MANHATTAN and the OLD
FASHIONED are most popular
among the whiskey cocktails. The
outstanding rum cocktail is the BA-
CARDI.
So you see there are many, many
things to be learned about the new
liquors. Perhaps the average person
won't come in contact so awfully
much with the more expensive wines
and iqueurs, but it is good to know
something about them. At present,
the prices of the new liquors are so
high that it makes it practically i'm
possible for everyone to get &C
quainted with them, but gosh, let's
hope the prices come down some time
within the next five years. Mean
while, am saving all the information
can get hold of about the "real
stuff"
My interest in MYRT and MARGE
