A Few Satisfying Drinks, Thirst
Quenchers

GINGER CREAM

Take a tumbler two-thirds full of ginger ale; put in three tablespoons
of rich cream; stir and drink.

This is a most delicious drink for either hot or cold weather.

GINGER PUNCH

For five minutes boil a pint of water, a pound of sugar, and the grated
yellow rind of a lemon. Strain, and while hot stir into it two sliced
bananas and a quarter of a pound of chopped candied cherries. Stand aside
to cool. At serving time put a good-sized block of ice into the punch
bowl, add the juice of six lemons to the banana mixture, turn it into
the punch bowl. Add two bottles of ginger ale, and one quart of Apolli-naris.
Serve at once.

MINT PUNCH

From twelve stalks of mint, strip off the leaves, chop them very fine
and rub them to a paste, adding gradually one pint of cold water. Add
a pound of sugar. Boil five minutes and strain through cheesecloth. When
cold, add the juice of six lemons. At serving time turn this mixture into
the punch bowl over a block of ice, throw in a few fresh mint leaves,
and add sufficient Apolli-naris to make a palatable drink.

GINGER SQUASH

Fill a large glass a third full of finely chopped ice; add a half bottle
of ginger ale, and fill the glass at once with Apollinaris; stir and serve.

ICED COCOA

Put two heaping teaspoons of cocoa into a double boiler; add gradually
a half pint of boiling water. Cook and stir five minutes; add a half pint
of milk, beat thoroughly, take from the fire and stand aside to cool.
At serving time fill the glasses a third full of finely chopped ice; add
a teaspoon of powdered sugar; fill the glass two-thirds full of the cocoa,
and fill the remaining third with whipped cream.
