1955 Seattle drinks (long)

[A. Maberry]

Barry Popik has probably unearthed all of these before, but I can't recall
a posting. These are all taken from a thin book about Seattle restaurants:
Speidel, William C. You can't eat Mount Rainier! (illustrated by Bob
Cram) Portland, Ore. : Binfords & Mort, 1955.
Several pages down there is a recipe of Cappuccino, or at least something
called a Cappuccino.

All of the restaurants are, or at least were in Seattle:

Catherine's Cocktail (Catherine of Deverso's)--1/2 jigger whiskey, 1 t
maraschino cherry juice, 1 1/2 jiggers Italian vermouth. Serve in a Gibson

"Irving's 620 adds a zany touch to a dry martini ..."
Glacier Worm Cocktail--1 pt French vermouth, 3 pts gin, dash of orange
bitters, twist of lemon peel, piece of cooked macaroni ... "Irving's
garnish: draw a face at one end of the macaroni with an indelible pencil,
insert a bit of pimento for the tongue and curl the 'glacier worm' around
inside the glass" [N.B. Irving's 620 is no longer in business.--adm]
