Vincent Lopez, Famous Orchestra Leader … tells you how to mix “The Drink of the Month”
Spring this grand G&W “Drink of the Month” on your guests the next time you entertain. And to win a reputation as an expert drink-mixer, take these tips from Vincent Lopez, famous orchestra leader of the Ambassador Hotel, New York:Remember—the purpose of ice is to cool the cocktail, not dilute it. Don’t use too much.
Remember—the purpose of ice is to cool the cocktail, not dilute it. Don’t use too much.
To pour out a clear, perfectly balanced drink—stir it instead of shaking it. Shaking melts the ice too fast, producing a weak, muddy-looking cocktail.
To be sure your cocktails will taste right, be sure your whiskey is made right. Use a whiskey that’s smooth and flavorful whether you drink it in a cocktail or highball—use G&W! G&W whiskies are the products of the oldest distillery on the whole North American continent. Extra years of experience is the secret of their extra good taste!
