2 wine-glasses of boiling water.
2 lumps of loaf-sugar.

Hot Scotch Whiskey Punch.
(Use medium bar-glass.)
Take 1 wine-glass of Glenlivet or May whiskey.
2 wine-glasses of boiling water.
Sugar to taste. (About two lumps of loaf
sugar.)
*Sugar does not readily dissolve in spirits ; it is neoessary, therefore, in
making hot toddy or punch to put in the water before the spirits, or at
least sufficient of the water to entirely dissolve the sugar, taking care to
warm the glass before pouring boiling water into it.
The best Hot Whiskey Punch is made with pulverized rock-candy.
This is preferable to sugar, for any hot drink made of whiskey or brandy.
Dissolve the sugar with one wine-glass of the
water* then pour in the whiskey, add the balance of
the water, and put in a small piece of lemon rind or
a thin slice of lemon. Before using the glass rinse it
in hot water.
