DRINK MIXER'S MANUAL
CONTENTS

Have a jigger (1 1/2 oz) or a measuring glass on hand. A dash is equal
to seven or eight drops. The quantities mentioned in the recipes refer
to one drink except where otherwise specified. From them you can easily
calculate the amounts to use for mixing any number of drinks.

Always use fine granulated sugar to avoid caking and to assure thorough
dilution. Do not use confectioners' sugar.
