In drawing solid drinks put the syrup in first, then use an eight-ounce mineral glass to draw your plain soda in. Add your phosphate to your syrup if required, and mix by throwing from one glass to the other.
Never use shaved ice in soda water, as it spoils your soda and makes it flat tasting. Shaved ice should be used for no other purpose at a soda fountain but for the manufacture of glaces. In making egg drinks don’t use shaved ice, but cracked ice, small lumps, as this breaks your egg up and is strictly necessary in this mixture.
GLACES.
Glaces are made by shaving ice in an ice shaver into small glass mugs. After you have filled your glass mug with crushed ice, use a long soda spoon to make a hole in the middle of the ice; fill this with crushed fruit, or any flavor that you like, shave a little more ice on top, and it is ready for the customer.
This is a very profitable drink and the most popular flavors are cherry, strawberry, orange, peach, raspberry, pineapple, plum, apricot and claret.
CITRIC ACID SOLUTION.
Put 5 pounds of crushed citric acid and 1 pint of water into a galvanized iron kettle and bring to gentle boil, constantly stirring, immediately filtering through paper into gallon bottle; add enough warm water to fill bottle; keep well corked.
