As everybody knows, a refrigerator is an essential for a cocktail party. For wines and beers, too, it is much more than a luxury.
But these do not, by any means, exhaust the possibilities of refrigeration for preparing drinks.
Iced coffee, for instance, makes a hot summer evening more than supportable. Just put coffee syrup—prepared by boiling strong coffee and sugar for 10 minutes—into a shaker with milk and a heaped tablespoonful of ice-cream. Shake it well, serve in -tall glasses, and add more ice-cream to the top.
Iced tea, well known in this country, is also delightful. The tea is made in the ordinary way, allowed to cool, and then strained. Sugar syrup is added, and it is cooled in the refrigerator. It is served with lemon ie. cubes—frozen lemonade—and: a slice of lemon.
An excellent way of making lemon to mix water and lemon juice, sugar to taste, and serve with coloureti ice cubes, or a teaspoonful of any fruit juice that has been frozen to a mush in the refrigerator.
