Contents COCKTAILS - - - Section One OTHER DRINKS - - Section Two INDEX to names of cocktails whose vast number prevents inclusion of . recipes in this book - - - Section Three GLOSSARY - - - Section Four Coronation Edition 1937 Preface O compile this book of Cocktails has been no easy task since it has entailed minutely examining over four thousand recipes, and to keep the book within reasonable bounds it has been only possible to give a selection of the most suitable cocktails. The majority of recipes are the originals of Members of the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild, of which I have the honour to be President, and I can assure my readers that if they will follow these recipes carefully they will be able to enjoy many drinks with which they were hitherto unacquainted. Careful observation has shown that at the majority of Cocktail parties there is little variation in the cocktails offered, and each party is apt to have a monotonous repetition of Martini, Bronx, Manhattan, and White Lady Cocktails, all, I grant, very good cocktails indeed, but just as apt to be dull as continuous dinners at which the same soup, fish, meat and sweet are served.

  • Maraschino Cherry Cake Adapted Fromsprinklebake S
    Read the blog post Maraschino Cherry Cake Adapted from SprinkleBakes If you would like little domes like mine, use four 4.5” spring-form pans. If you would prefer miniature layer cakes, you’ll probably need six pans (and will need to go easy on the frosting). Otherwise, use two 7” spring-form pans for a larger layer cake, or one 9” for just one big ol’ regular cake. I used Morello cherry juice in this recipe. There are others that you can find at grocery stores—just make sure you get 100% juice, not those Ocean Spray “juice cocktail drink” things) • ½ cup unsalted butter • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar • 2 cups all-purpose flour • 1 tablespoon baking powder • ¼ teaspoon salt • ¼ cup whole milk • 2 tablespoons maraschino soaking liquid (from homemade maraschino cherries) • Cherry juice — combine with the maraschino liqueur to make ½ cup • 2 teaspoons almond extract • 2 tablespoons flour for sprinkling over diced cherries • 1 heaping cup homemade maraschino cherries, chopped • 4 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks Preheat oven to 340˚ and grease the pans. Cream butter and sugar together in the bowl of a stand mixer. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt and baking powder. Combine milk, maraschino liqueur, cherry juice and almond extract, and add alternately to the butter and sugar with the flour mixture. In a small bowl, sprinkle the 2 tablespoons of flour over the diced cherries and stir until the flour has been completely absorbed. Stir cherries into the batter. (At this point, if you would like your cakes to be pretty and pink, add a couple drops of red food coloring.) Fold stiffly beaten egg whites into the batter.

  • Oakwood Daffodils, Dr. John Reed, 2018
    1 GREETINGS from OAKWOOD DAFFODILS! APRIL 2018 Welcome to Oakwood Daffodil’s 35th annual listing of Midwestern-raised, bred, and acclimatized daffodils. I have grown daffodils on a singular basis since 1971 and bred them on a regular basis since 1976. I can proudly state that I have the largest collection of Narcissus hybrids in diversity, quality, and quantity, in the United States. I have tried to offer the American gardener and daffodil lovers worldwide the greatest chance of enjoying their favorite flower. Midwestern-grown daffodils will do better in most of the USA and better than those from other climates and countries. While emphasis is on Midwestern varieties, I am also listing bulbs from Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. My daffodil list is sent out by email and snail mail, to those who require that service. You can find my catalog on the American Daffodil Society’s (ADS) web page under the specialty bulb grower section. Contacting us directly is always acceptable, too. Bulbs are dug to order in late May and June, and then shipped in late September and October, thus it is important to order early. As I write this we are experiencing the mildest winter since 1982-83. Record flooding is occurring in our rivers with much damage being done. This last year has been difficult health-wise; my recovery has been difficult and discouraging, but we are still at it. Julie Martin is my care giver, while also providing most of the work on the daffodils. Without Julie there would be no Oakwood Daffodils.
