By Ambrose Heath and published in 1939 by Faber and Faber
Foreword
"This collection of divers drinks is offered for
all those occasions when drinking is desirable: on
a winter's evening by the fire, on the shady verge
of the tennis court, at a party, in a pub; with
friends, or aquaintances or those even dearer,
wherever they may happen to be together: to the
advancement of the brewer and the wine mer-
chant, and the confusion of dull dogs"
June 1939

From this wonderful book full of recipes for home made liqueurs and other alcoholic delights I bring you...

The Sloe Gin Rickey
Squeeze the juice of half a good-sized lime into a tumbler containing a lump or two of ice. Add three-quaters of a gill of Sloe Gin, and fill up with cold soda water
