Foreword THE first and most sacred

rite of hospitality, the world over, is the proffer of refreshment in some form. The guest of a Japanese host is cere­moniously served with tea in accordance with an elaborate and time-honored ritual. The Mahometan offers tiny cups of thick, fragrant coffee flavored with rose-water and anise. From the Arctic Circle, where Laplanders drink the milk of reindeer, to the Equatorial re­gions, whose inhabitants make

merry over bowls of fermented palm sap, each race and clime has evolved characteristic bever­ages which play an important part in its social life.

The most wholesome and delicious are those composed of the pure, cooling juices of fruits and berries, nearly every variety of which may be thus utilized. The fascinating musky sweet­ness of grape, raspberry and loganberry, the pleasant astrin-gency of the pomegranate and sugary lusciousness of the per­simmon, the clean, sharp acid of lemon, lime and currant, and

the pungency of mint, the hon­eyed nectar of the strawberry, the refreshing tang of orange and pineapple, and the zestful bitterness of grapefruit, may be cunningly blended with syrups, essences and spices, with milk and eggs and effervescent wat­ers, in limitless and delectable variety.

One word of caution may be offered with respect to the prep­aration of fruit beverages. De­velopment of the full flavor and bouquet demands that they be intensely cold, but when fresh juices are employed, excessive

dilution must be avoided, hence the ice in the glass or shaker should be moderately coarse to prevent too rapid melting. On the other hand, when using bottled syrups or concentrated fruit juices, the addition of plenty of fine ice is an advan­tage.

Temperance Drinks

THE recipes given in this book are justly denomi­nated " Temperance Drinks," despite the fact that they are not in every instance devoid of alcohol.

For preservative purposes, commercial fruit syrups us­ually contain from one to two per cent, of alcohol, and bitters and flavoring extracts — in­cluding the vanilla, almond, peppermint, et cetera, in use in

every kitchen in the land — con­tain from thirty to ninety per cent.; yet the quantity of such ingredients specified in any given recipe is so small that the alcoholic content of the beverage as a whole is far below the limit established by the Federal au­thorities, and is essentially non-alcoholic.

HOWEVER delicious the flavor, half the virtue of a drink is

wanting unless the eye as well as the palate is agreeably impressed, and the selection of appropriate and gracefully designed glassware is the first and most direct means of appealing to the esthetic sense.

The variety of glassware is almost bewildering, but a relatively small number of styles will answer every purpose. The essentials are, tum­blers in three sizes, the tallest for serving ginger ale and other beverages for which a ginger ale glass is speci­fied, and the shortest for grapejuice and kindred drinks; goblets, large and small; iced tea or lemonade glasses, which may be used interchangeably; cups or small-handled glasses for punch; and a fruit-cup set comprising

a tall, slender pitcher and fancy-shaped glasses to match.

The crystal service should be supple­mented by a tankard and set of cups which may range all the way from plain brown earthenware lined with white, to the choicest Doulton or Wedgwood.

As the sparkle of glassware has so much to do with the enjoyment of the beverage, the following suggestions are offered as to the care of glassware:

All glasses should be washed in hot water — as hot as possible without the risk of breaking. A little house­hold ammonia added to the water, or the use of a silver-polish (in place of soap) will insure brilliancy. Dry with a towel free from lint. A high polish can be obtained by drying the glasses with tissue paper.
