REMSEN COOLER
Use a medium size Fizz glass.
Peel a Lemon as you would an Apple.
Place the Rind or Peeling into the Fizz glass.
2 or 3 lumps of Crystal Ice.
1 Wineglass of Remsen Scotch Whiskey.
Fill up the balance with Club Soda; stir up slowly with a spoon and serve.
In this country it is often the ease that people call a Remsen Cooler where they want Old Tom Gin or Sloe Gin instead of Scotch Whiskey. It is therefore the bartender's duty to mix as desired.
Note: Bullock takes his recipe for the Remsen Cooler from Harry Johnson, who was incorrect in this matter; Johnson incorrectly took the Ramsey Cooler mentioned in George J. Kappeler's book and read it as Ramsen, which is a totally different drink.
