New Cocktail in Paris Is the Monkey Gland
"Preparing for a busy tourist season, Frank, the noted concocter behind the bar of the Ritz. has devised a new series of powerful cocktails, favorite of which is known as the "monkey gland, or , as it is popularly called, the "McCormick."
Like Frank's "poixxito quinte" [?] gloomer raiser, the monkey gland requires absinthe to be perfect, but its amateurs have found anise a substitute with a sufficient kick.
For the benefit of friends over in America who have not exhausted their cellars, here is the recipe: half and half gin and orange juice, a dash of absinthe, and a dash of raspberry or other sweet juice. Mix well with ice and serve only with a doctor handy. Inside half an hour the other day Frank purveyed forty of these, to the exclusion of Manhattans and Martinis."

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.
