The Cocktail hour

It’s almost 5pm on a Friday so why don’t you download a copy of the 1951 classic “The Cocktail Hour” by Master Chef Louis P. De Gouy.

If you are not sure what to make but have some brandy on hand, you can do a quick search and find all 109 mentions of the delicious drink and pick the cocktail that best suits your mood. The orange flambeau bishop might be perfect for a cold night.
