...Fizz...
...sweet and fruity. The original recipes probably did not include oranges or cherries, but many bartenders today experiment with colorful garnishes. It is also possible to use a simple, sweet syrup instead of the sugar cube. The final addition of soda water is controversial. Traditionalists complain too much fizz causes the cocktail to become a spritzer. Feel free to experiment and tweak tradition.

(That's what happens when you decide to promote Susie and Dallas from foils into virtual coequals in stage time with J.J. and Sidney.) The show is not so much dark as drab; it lumbers instead of sprinting; and Hamlisch, after three pretty fine Broadway scores, seems to have run out of tunes. But it could...
