Pony Brandy.

(Use smail bar-glass. )

  • Take 1 pony-glass of brandy, (best).

Pour it into the glass, and serve with some ice-water in a separate glass.

Some bar-tenders have a fancy way of serving this drink. It is done thusly:—

Fill to the brim a pony-glass of brandy, cover it with the bar-glass, then press both glasses tightly together and turn them over quickly, so that the pony-glass will remain upside down in the bar-glass, without a drop of the brandy escaping.
