"MONKEY GLAND" IS POPULAR IN PARIS New Cocktail Is So-Called Because It Has "Wallop;" "Side-car" is Another
PARIS, May 18.--"A monkey gland in a hurry!"
That's the latest order in Paris bars, not in the hospitals. A "monkey gland" is a new cocktail which has what veteran bar hounds call an "awful wallop." It was invented by a famous Paris bartender particularly to attract the attention of newly arrived American tourists. The ingredients consist of one-half gin, one-half orange juice, a dash of absinthe and a dash of grenadine, all well shaken together with plenty of ice. Another new cocktail, second only in popularity to the monkey gland, has been named a "side-car," because it takes the imbiber for a ride. Two-thirds brandy, one-sixth Cintreau (sic) and one-sixth lemon juice make up this concoction.
