What Shall We Drink?

MIXING A CANADIAN PUNCH

We can almost forgive Canada for raising tariff walls

against the United States when we drink this Canadian

Punch. Into the punch bowl hned with cracked ice, go two

quarts of Canadian Rye Whisky,five shced lemons,one and

a half pints Jamaica Rum (or any other kind if you like), the

half slices of one pineapple or the canned, if not available.

Now pour in, stirring all the while, one gallon (four quart

bottles) of seltzer, vichy or carbonated water, add two

ounces of Arrack and a half pint of "gum." Serve in punch

glasses—about thirty-five drinks at your service.

MIXING AN ORGEATPUNCH

The Orgeat Punch is a real delight. Try one:Into shaker

partly filled with finely shaved ice pour three teaspoons of

Orgeat S3mip, three ounces of brandy, a quarter teaspoon of

strained lemon juice and shake till thoroughly chilled. Pour

into thin tiunbler, fill with fine ice almost like snow, add a

dash ofPort or Sherry wine,afew bits offruit in season,and

drink with straw or glass sipper.

MIXING A FROSTED RUM PUNCH

Have your shaker ready wdth some finely chipped ice.

Pour in three ounces of fine rum (any kind), add a half tea

spoon of strained lemon juice and "gum"to taste,say,about

two teaspoons. Shake well and poiu into thin goblet almost

filled with snowy ice, add a dash of Arrack and top with

your favorite fruit or berries. Use straw or glass sipper.

MIXING AN EGG MILKPUNCH

Here's a delicious Egg Milk Punch fit for a King! Made

individually, it spells real art in mixing. Carefully now,

follow instructions: Use shaker to break in one fresh egg,

one and a half ounces of French brandy, two and a half

oimces fine rum,a quarter teaspoon of strained lemon juice

and a teaspoon and a half of powdered sugar. Add to this,

estimating, enough milk to make the mixture fiU a goblet.
