    Blue Blazer.
    (Use two silver-plated mugs.)
    Take 1 small tea-spoonful of powdered white sugar dissolved in 1 wine-glass of boiling water.
    1 wine-glass of Scotch whiskey.
    Put the whiskey and the boiling water in one mug, ignite the liquid with fire, and while blazing mix both ingredients by pouring them four or five times from one mug to the other. If well done this will have the appearance of a continued stream of liquid fire.
    Serve in a small bar-glass with a piece of twisted lemon peel.
    The novice in mixing this beverage should be careful not to scald himself. To become proficient in throwing the liquid from one mug to the other, it will be necessary to practise for some time with cold water.
  • ljubovdvoretskajahas quoted5 years ago
    efficient bartender’s first aim should be to please his customers, paying particular attention to meet the individual wishes of those whose tastes and desires he has already watched and ascertained ; and, with those whose peculiarities he has had no opportunity of learning, he should politely inquire how they wish their beverages served, and use his best judgment in endeavoring to fulfill their desires to their entire satisfaction. In this way he will not fail to acquire popularity and success.
