Take 1 bottle of claret.

1 bottle of soda-water.

4 table-spoonfuls of powdered white sugar dissolved in a little of the soda-water.

¼ tea-spoonful of grated nutmeg.

1 liqueur-glass of Maraschino.

About ½ pound of ice.

3 or 4 slices of cucumber rind.

Put all the ingredients into a pitcher and mix well.

 

Take 6 lemons, in slices.

½ gallon of brandy.

½ gallon of Jamaica rum.

1 pound of white sugar.

1¾ quart of water.

1 pint of boiling milk.

Steep the lemons for twenty-four hours in the brandy and rum; then add the sugar, water and milk, and when well mixed, strain through a jelly-bag.

This punch may be bottled, and used afterward hot or cold.

Half the above quantity, or even less, may be made, as this recipe is for a party of twenty.
