Mixed Drinks (If taken in reasonable)

If taken in reasonable moderation the humble gentleman is transformed into a financial giant, and is ready to buy the earth; it even inspires aspirations for presidential honors.

The following is the receipt:

I gallon Catawba wine, light color, I quart St. Croix rum, 4 cans sliced pineapples, 27/½ dozen lemons, 3 oranges, I bottle of Maraschino cherries, 2 cups of strong green tea. 4 quarts Champagne. (American will do as well as imported.) Mix the juices of the lemons, pineapples and liquor of the cherries with the Catawba wine, St. Croix rum and tea, then sweeten to taste.

This is known as the stock, and improves with age.

Before serving this should be cooled in a refrigerator, or by placing a piece of ice in it.

When ready to serve, put a piece of ice in the punch bowl, then pour in the stock, leaving room for a prorata part of the Champagne. As each charge is put into the Early to bed and early to rise-and you'll meet no prominent people. bowl, oranges and pineapples sliced into small particles, and cherries, should be added in proportion to the amount used.

The stock should be kept at least two days before serving.

BLUE GRASS PUNCH.
