1 wine glass of brandy
1/2 wine glass of Jamaica rum
1/2 wine glass of Bourbon whiskey
1/2 wine glass of water
1 1/2 table spoonful of powdered white sugar
1/2 of a large lemon
Instructions:
Fill a tumbler with shaved ice.
The above must be well shaken, and to those who like their draughts "like linked sweetness long drawn out," let them use a glass tube or straw to sip the nectar through. The top of this punch should be ornamented with small pieces of orange, and berries in season.
