What Shall We Drink?
may wish, whether the party is a foursome,a two or a three
table affair.
Now for a few milk punches, and then on to other varie
ties, for we have many to cover.
MILK PUNCHES
While milk punches are excellent for the sick, they're not

through a sieve when pouring into tumbler.
COCOAMILKPUNCH

Into an iced shaker pour eight ounces of milk and add
two to three ounces of Creme de Cocoa and the white of one

of water. Shake and pour into tumbler partly filled with
