Seville
oranges
are
not
generally
used
at
Oxford
in
making
Negus
;
when
they
are,
one
orange
is
allowed
to
each
bottle
of
wine.
COLD
WHITE
WINE
NEGUS.
To
make
cold
white
wine
Negus,
let
the
mixture
stand
until
it
is
quite
cold,
and
then
pour
a
bottle
of
white
wine
into
it.
It
is
sometimes
in
the
summer
season
placed
in
a
tub
of
ice
;
when
that
is
done
it
will
be
necessary
to
make
the
Negus
somewhat
sweeter,
as
extreme
cold
detracts
from
the
sweetness
of
liquors.
PORT
WINE
NEGUS.
In
making
port
wine
Negus,
merely
omit
the
jelly
;
for
when
port
wine
comes
in
contact
with
ealves-feet
jelly,
it
immediately
assumes
a
dis-
agreeable
muddy
appearance,
Negus
is
not
confined
to
any
particular
sorts
of
wine
;
if
the
jelly
is
omitted,
it
can
be
made
with
any,
or
several
sorts
mixed
together.
