Regent's Punch.
(Use punch bowl.)
Take 1 ½ pint of strong green tea, (hot).
1 ½ pint of lemon juice.
1 ½ pint of Capillaire.
1 pint of Jamaica rum.
1 pint of brandy.
1 pint of Batavia arrack.
1 pint of Curacoa.
1 bottle of Champagne.
1 pineapple, sliced.
2 oranges, sliced.
Mix the ingredients well together in a punch-bowl,
and add the wine and ice just before serving.
Nectar Punch.
Take 4 ½ pints of rum.
2 quarts of milk, boiling hot.
2 quarts of cold water.
2 ½ pounds of loaf-sugar.
15 lemons.
1 nutmeg.
Cut off the peel of the lemons very thin and infuse
them for forty-eight hours with a pint and a half of
the rum. Add to the infusion the water, the juice of
the lemons, the milk, and the nutmeg grated; let it
all stand for twenty-four hours, covered close; then
add the sugar, strain through flannel, and bottle for
use. It is ready to use at any time.
Orange Punch.
Take ¾ pint of rum.
¾ pint of brandy.
½ pint of porter.
3 ½ pints of boiling water.
4 pound of loaf-sugar.
4 oranges.
Infuse the peel of two and the juice of four oranges
with the sugar, in the water for half an hour; strain,
and add the porter, rum and brandy. Sugar may be
added, if it be desired sweeter. A liqueur-glass of
Curacoa, Noyeau, or Maraschino is considered an improvement.
Instead of using both rum and brandy, one-and-ahalf
pints of either alone will answer.
This is also an excellent recipe for LEMON PUNCH by
substituting lemons for oranges.
