Orange Mint Cup

Separate a rather sour orange into sections and remove the thin skin with a pair of scissors. Chill thoroughly, place in glass, sprinkle with powdered sugar and pour over one teaspoon each of pineapple, lemon juice and sherry. Sprinkle with chopped mint and garnish with an upright spring of mint in the center of the glass.

WATERMELON COCKTAIL With a vegetable cutter prepare small balls of bright pink watermelon, having the balls no larger than marbles. Chill thoroughly. Drain the liquor from a small bottle of Maraschino cherries, chill, and at serving time pour over the watermelon balls. Garnish with mint. A pretty fancy is to moisten the edge of each cocktail glass, before filling. Invert the glass in finely chopped mint. This will leave a line of green adhering to the edge of the glass.
