J,EMONADES.

166

CIRCUS LEMONADE.

'!'his drink in a barroom is a Plain Lemonade colorell with raspberry

syrup; but a proper Circtis Lemonade is a beverage that is made to sell at

large gatherings, such as circuses, fair grounds, race-courses and church fairs,

and is made in the following manner: -

Procure a large tub or headless barrel and fill it nearly full of water,

. add enough citric or tartaric acid to suit, and sweeten to taste with sugar.

Two pounds of acid will make over thirty gallons of lemonade. Cochineal

coloring (see Recipe No. 458) will make it a beautiful red color. Always slice

up a few lemons or oranges and throw in.

If

you have no ice bandy with

which to cool this delightful beverage, pr•J•;ure a piece of glass and fasten

it

to the sid es of the barrel with strings, so it will float near the top, and put some

of the sliced fruit on it. '!'his little deception causes the drink to appear

more inviting on a warm day. A strawberry is usually added at chmch fairs,

and two or three berries might possibly be used for a picnic.
