What Shall We Drink?
fifteen oranges sliced and the slices halved, seven lemons
sliced thin and the slices halved,and about a poiind of diced
pineapple.
Stir and stir until thoroughly chilled, then serve or let
your guests help themselves at will, using lemonade glasses
partly filled with ice. There's plenty to go around, as this
mixture makes about eighty "long" drinks and even more
"short"ones,if you prefer to serve it in smallslender goblets.
WHISKY WHITEPUNCH
Another good one is made of a pint of whisky, a half
bottle of any white wine, about three ounces of Curacao,
half a lemon squeezed into the potion,"gum" to suit taste
and a generous triple squirt of vichy, seltzer or carbonated
water to add a bit of effervescence. Shake well in iced shaker
and serve your guests in Sherry glasses. This should make
about fifteen drinks of this size. Some folks add a touch of
Arrack. Try it.
MARASCHINO PUNCH
Here's a Maraschino punch for a party sure to please all.
Get out your large punch bowl generously treated with
cracked ice. Pour into it four quarts of seltzer or carbonated
water and add three ounces of Axrack and a pint of Mara
schino cordial (or more,if you prefer). Then cut into halves
a half pound Maraschino cherries and add to the liquid
without using the juice from the bottle they were in, and the
juice of two lemons. Stir till very cold. Then serve in the
usual punch glasses. This mixture makes about thirty-odd
drinks.

the same amount of rye or Scotch whisky and gin. Now
