Cheers!
A student’s primer
for warm weather drinhs
"A little learning is a dang'rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not a Pierian spring:
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again "
— Alexander Pope
"There is no drinking after death." — John Fletcher
"Cheers!” — The Emerald
In the Inexorable cycle of seasons, summer
comes even to Eugene.
When it does arrive, students are no longer
satisfied with dark, smoke-filled taverns where
somebody has danced on the table the night before;
their shoes adhere to the tavern floors as they
navigate their way to the sunshine
With the advent of warmer weather, the hardier
souls among us are already drinking outdoors
To encourage this change of venue, The Emer
ald offers this student primer of warm-weather
libations for the enlightenment of our drinking
audience.
Remember, the key word is cold.
The Manhattan
2 ozs. blended whiskey
% ox. sweet vermouth
1 dash bitters (optional)
1 maraschino cherry
In a drink contest a
couple of generations
ago. the Manhattan
would have run a dead
heat with the martini
Despite having lost
ground since, this ver
satile drink has sired
many offspring, includ
ing the old-fashioned,
the rusty nail and the
whiskey sour. Stir whis
key, vermouth and bit
ters well with ice Strain
into pre-chilled glass
Add cherry
The Mint Julep
12 mini leaves on a slam
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons water
2 54 ozs. 86- or 100-proof
bourbon
6 mint leaves on stem
With the running of
the Kentucky Derby ear
lier this month, the julep
is officially in season.
Tear or bruise the 12
mint leaves partially
while leaving them on
stem Place in tall,
chilled glass with water
and sugar Stir until
sugar is dissolved. Fill
glass with cracked ice.
Add bourbon. Stir To
release the aroma, par
tially tear the 6 mint
leaves Insert the leaves
into the ice and —
they're off!

The Dry Martini
2 ox. gin
'A ox. dry vermouth
In season year
round, this thor
oughbred should be
served piercingly cold.
Perfect for members of
the Why-Go-To-AII
That-T rouble-For-A
Drink School At its best,
both the gin (Boodles
and Tanqueray are the
best) and the glass are
chilled ahead of time.
The martini’s most com
mon garnish is an olive,
pitted or stuffed. We
recommend a twist.
Substitute an onion, and
a martini becomes a
Gibson. Just strain into a
cocktail glass, whisper
the word vermouth and
— Voila!
The Gin Gimlet
2 ozs. gin
'/} oz. lime Juice
Like the martini,
controversy surrounds
this drink’s proper
proportions. Adding
sugar and club soda
turns it into a Gin Fizz.
Stir well with ice. Strain
into pre-chilled cocktail
glass. Glass may be
sugar-frosted by mois
tening rim with lime juice
and dipping into sugar.
Sweetness.
The Bloody Mary
1 $4 ozs. vodka
3 ozs. tomato juice
% oz. lemon juice
1 dash Worcestershire
sauce
This simple but ef
fective pick-me-up is
everyone’s favorite first
drink of the day. Rumor
has it the key ingredient
is horseradish, although
we think the real secret
is serving with a pickled
green bean. Optional
ingredients include
Tabasco sauce (careful)
and a stalk of celery.
Shake all ingredients
well with ice. Strain into
glass. Good morning!
The Pina Colada
2 ozs. golden rum
3 ozs. crushed pineap
ple or unsweetened pin
eapple juice
1V* ozs. cream
