Steep the thin yellow shavings of lemon peel in the whiskey which should be Glenlivet or Islay, of the best quality; the sugar should be dissolved in boiling water. As it requires genius to make whiskey punch, it would be impertinent to give proportions. (See "Spread Eagle Punch," No. 39.)

1 wine-glass whiskey (Irish or Scotch).

2 do. boiling water.

Sugar to taste.

Dissolve the sugar well with 1 wine-glass of the water, then pour in the whiskey, and add the balance of the water, sweeten to taste, and put in a small piece of lemon rind, or a thin slice of lemon.

1 table-spoonful of raspberry syrup.

2 do. do. white sugar,

1 wine-glass of water.

1½ do. gin.

½ small-sized lemon.

2 slices of orange.

1 piece of pine-apple.

Fill the tumbler with shaved ice.

Shake well, and ornament the top with berries in season. Sip through a glass tube or straw.
