TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL PARTY-GIVERS Parties are as much a part of summer as cutting the lawn, cookouts, baseball and the beach. Perhaps it’s because in summer we relax, expand, enjoy—and the party mood just naturally takes over. The following are some important things to keep in mind in planning a successful party: Allow a minimum of four drinks per person. A fifth size bottle holds 25 ounces, or 16 one-and-a-half ounce drinks, which is the average quantity for a drink today. When a recipe calls for frosting the rim of the glass, dampen the rim of a pre-cooled glass slightly with a slice of lemon and dip in a saucer of fine granulated sugar. Choose your spirits with an eye to quality and mixability. Bourbon, for example, is an excellent buy and truly a “one-bottle bar.” Not only does it marry well with all kinds of fruits and soft drinks for an unlimited variety of thirst-quenching summer drinks, but its great versatility makes it a natural mixer all year-round., Carbonated water should never be stirred vigor­ ously, for that releases the carbonic acid gas and results in a drink that is flat. Be sure there’s plenty of ice. Cracked ice is best tall, mixed drinks . . . cubes for highballs. When usin^ cracked ice, put the ice in the glass first, then pour your ingredients. If you don’t have an ice crusher, use a cloth bag and mallet, or buy cracked --------- -—'--------------------- ice. Avoid using old ice that ■ t has that “icebox taste.” u»0»ci’S*!5QUi® SOTCHWWSW!
