Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/4″ ad that is advertising Four Roses Blended Whiskey for the holidays. At the top of the ad there is a drawing of a man working on pouring Four Roses Eggnog from a big bowl into little mugs that are around the bowl, and just behind Four Bright Red Roses. The ad says that “Once again it’s time to make a bowl of Merry Christmas!. The ingredients: Here’s all you need for the finest “Bowl of Merry Christmas” ever made – a Four Roses Eggnog. Six eggs…3/4 cup sugar…1 pint cream…1 pint milk…1 oz. Jamaica Rum…1 pint Four Roses…grated nutmeg. The Procedure: Beat separately yolks and whites of eggs. Add 1/2 cup sugar to yolks while beating. Add 1/4 cup sugar to whites after they have been beaten very stiff. Mix egg whites with yolks. Stir in cream and milk. Add the pint of Four Roses and the rum. Stir thoroughly. Serve very cold with grated nutmeg. The Delightful Result: A bowlful (five pints) of the fluffiest, grandest Eggnog ever labeled into a cup…thanks to the magnificent flavor of the matchless whiskey…Four Roses. Fine Blended Whiskey: 90.5 proof, 40% straight whiskies, 60% grain neutral spirits”. Off to the right it says “Four Roses In a beautiful gift carton…for the holidays”.
