Californian (or Orgeat) Lemonade.
Put into a large tumbler the juice of a lemon,
half a tablespoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful
of orgeat syrup, one wineglass of water, and
half fill with shaved ice; shake well, fill up with
soda-water, decorate with slices of orange and
lemon, and berries in season, and serve with a
straw.
Egg Lemonade.
Put into a large tumbler the juice of one lemon,
half fill the tumbler with shaved ice; add one
tablespoonful of icing sugar, and break a new-
laid egg into the compound. Shake well, strain,
fill with soda-water, and dust with nutmeg and
cinnamon. Serve with a straw.
Lemonade for Parties.
Rub half a pound of loaf sugar into the rind
of two lemons until it has imbibed all the
oil from them ; then mix with a quart of boiling
water and the juice of three large lemons in
a stone jug until the sugar has dissolved ; then
strain through a piece of muslin, and when cool
it will be ready for use. The addition of the
white of an egg well beaten up and a little
sherry mixed with it, is a great improvement to
the above drink, which can be made in larger
or smaller quantities as desired by increasing
or diminishing the ingredients. Ice if required.
