BRANDY AND SODA.
99

Brandy Straight.

(Use small bar-glass.)

Tn serving this drink you simply put a piece of ice in a tumbler, and hand it to your customer, with the bottle of brandy, and a separate glass of ice water.

Whiskey Straight and Gin Straight are served in the same manner.


Pony Brandy.

(Use smail bar-glass. )

  • Take 1 pony-glass of brandy, (best).

Pour it into the glass, and serve with some ice-water in a separate glass.

Some bar-tenders have a fancy way of serving this drink. It is done thusly:—

Fill to the brim a pony-glass of brandy, cover it with the bar-glass, then press both glasses tightly together and turn them over quickly, so that the pony-glass will remain upside down in the bar-glass, without a drop of the brandy escaping.


Brandy and Soda.

(Use large soda-water glass.)

  • Take 1 wine-glass of brandy.
  • Take 2 or 3 small lumps of ice.

Fill up the glass with a bottle of plain soda-water.

This is sometimes called Stone Wall.
