PEBFAOE.

In aU agos of the world and in all countries, men have in dulged in"so cial drinks." They have al- waj"S possess ed themselves ofsome popu lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that m a n k i n d should crci-

«01T"

tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. TVe simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks e.vist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drinks not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor. That is exactly our object in introducing this little volume to the public. We do not propose to persuade any man to drink, for instance,u punch, or ajulep, or a cocktail, who has never happened to make the acquaint ance ofthose refreshing articles under circumstances calculated toinduce more intimate relations; but we do propose to instruct those whose "in timate relations" in question render them somewhat fastidious, in the daintiest fashions thereunto pertaining. We very well remember seeing one day in London,in the rear of the

1

I'liEFACE.

Bank of England, a small drinking saloon that had been set up by a peripatetic American, at the door of which was placed a board covered with the unique titles of the Amorican mixed drinks supposed to be pre pared within that limited establishment. The "Connecticut eye-open ers" and "Alabama fog-cutters," together with the "lightning-smashes" and the "thunderbolt-cocktails," created a piofound sensation in the crowd assembled to peruse the hTectarian bill of faro, if they did not produce custom. It struck us, then, that a list of all the social drinks —the composite beverages,if we may call them so—of America, would really be one of the curiosities of jovial literature; and that if it was combined with a catalogue of the mixtures common to other nations, and made practically useful by the addition of a concise description of the various processes for "brewing" each, it would be a "blessing to mankind." There would be no excuse for imbibing, with such a book at hand, the "villainous compounds" of bar-keeping Goths and Vandals, who know no more of the amenities of ion vivant existence than a Hot tentot can know of the bouquet of champagne. "There's philosophy," says Father Tom in the drama,"even in a jug of punch." "We claim the credit of"philosophy teaching by example," then, to no ordinary extent in the composition of this volume; for our index exhibits the title of eighty-six different kinds of punches,together with a universe of cobblers,juleps, bitters, cups,slings,shrubs,&c.,each and aU of which the reader is carefuUy educated how to concoct in the choicest manner. For the perfection of this education, the name, alone, of Jerry Thomas is a suiBcient guarantee. He has travelled Europe and America in search of aU that is recondite in this branch ofthe spirit art. He has been the Jupiter Olympus of the bar at the Metropolitan Hotel in this city. He was the presiding deity at the Planter's House, St. Ijouis. He has been the proprietor ofone of the most recherche saloons in New Orleans as well as in New York. Hisvery name is sjmonymous in the lexicon of mixed drinks, with all that is rare and original. To the "Wine Press," edited by P. S. Cozzons, Esq., we are indebted for the composition of several valuable punches, and among them we may particularize the celebrated "Nuremburgh," and the equally famous "PhUadelphia Pish House" punch. The rest we owe to the inspiration of Jerry Thomas himself, and as he is as inexorable as the Medes and Persians in his principle that no exceUent drink can bo made out of any tiling but excellent materials, we conceive that we are safein assert ing that whatever may be prepared after his instructions will be able to speak eloquently for itself. "Good wine needs no bush," Shakespeare tells us and over one of Jerry's mixtures eulogy is quite as redundant.

1 gallon of water. 3 quarts of brandy.

nOT BRANDY AND RUM BUNCH.

IS

A pint of J.amaica rum. 2 lbs. of sugar. Juice of 6 lemons. 3 oranges sliced. 1 pine-apple, pared,and cut up. 1 gill of Curajo.a. 2 gills ofrasjjberiy syrup. Ice, and add berries ui season. Mix the materials Avell together in a large bowl, and you have a splendid punch.

4. Miasissippi Punch.

(UbC liirge bar glass.)

1 wine-glass of brandy, i do. Jam.aica rum. i do. Bourbon whiskey. ^ do. water. table-spoonful ofjiowdered white sugar. J of a large lemon. Fill a tumbler with shaved ice.

The above must be well shaken, and to those who hko 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.

5. Hot Brandy and Rum Punch. (For a party offifteen.)

1 quart ofJamaica rum. 1 do. Cognac brandy. 1 lb. of white loaf-sugar. 4lemons. 3 quarts of boiling water. 1 teaspoonful ofnutmeg.

COLD WHISKEr TUNCH.

Hub the sugar over the lemons until it has ahsorhed all the yellow part of the skins, then put the sugar into a punch-howl; acid the ingredients well together, pour over them the hoiling water, stir well together; add the rum, hrandy and nutmeg; mix thoroughly, and the punch will he ready to serve. As we have before said, it is very im portant, in making good punch, that all the ingredients aie thoroughly incorporated; and, to insure success, the process of mixing must he diligently attended to. Allow a quart for four persons; hut this information must he taken cicm grano salts • for the capacities of persons for this kind of beverage are generally supposed to vary con siderably. 6. Irish."Whiskey Pianch. This is the genuine Irish beverage. It is generally made one-third pure whiskey,two-tliirds hoiling w.ater, in which the sugar has been dissolved. If lemon punch, the rind is rubbed on the sugar, and a small proportion of juice added before the whiskey is poured in. This beverage ought always to he made with hoiling water, and allowed to concoct and cool for a day or tAvo before it is put on the table. In this way,the materials get more intensely amalgamated than cold Avater and cold Avhiskey ever get As to the beautiful mutual adaptation of cold rum and cojI water,that is beyond all praise,being one of Nature's most exquisite achievements. (See"Glas gow Punch" No. 29.) * Irish whiskey is not fit to drink until it is three years old. The best whiskey for this purpose is Kenahan's LL whiskey. 7. Cold "Whiskey Punch. (For a party.)

quart ofold Jamaica rum with two ofFrench hrandy,and put the spirit to the milk, stirring it for a short time; let it stand for an hour, but do not suflcr any one of delicate appetite to see the melange in its present state,as the sight might create a distastefor the punch when perfected. Filter through blotting-paper into bottles; and should you find that the liquid is cloudy, which it should not be, you may clarify it by adding a small portion ofjsinglass to each bottle. The above receii^t will furnish you Svith half a dozen of punch.

26. Punch,h la Ford.

(A recipefrom Benson E,Hill,Esq.,author of The Epicure^e Almanac.)

The late General Ford, who for many years was the commanding engineer at Dover, kept a most hospitable board, and used to make punch on a large scale, after the following method; He would select three dozen of lemons, the coats of which were smooth, and whose rinds were not too thin; these he would peel with a sharp knife into a large earthen vessel, taking care that none of the rind should be detach ed but that portion in which the cells are placed, contain ing the essential oil; when he had completed the first pai-t of the process, he added two pounds of lump-sugar, and stirred the peel and sugar together with an oar-shaped piece of wood,for nearly half an hour, thereby extracting a greater quantity of the essential oU. Boiling water was next poured into the vessel, and the whole well stirred, until the sugar was completely dissolved. Thelemons were then cut and squeezed,thejuice strained from the kernels; these were placed in a separate jug, and boiling water poured upon them, the general being aware that the pips were enveloped in a thick mucilage,full offlavor; halfthe

22

PUWOH JELLY.

lemon juice was now thrown in; and as soon as the ker nels were free from their transparent coating,their liquor strained and added. The sherbet was now tasted; more acid or more sugar applied as required, and care taken not to render the lemonade too watery. "Rich of the fruit, and plenty of sweetness," was the general's maxim. The sherbet was then measured,and to every three quarts a pint of Cognac brandy and a pint of old Jamaica rum were allotted, the spiiit being well stirred as poured in; bottling immediately followed, and, when completed, the beverage was kept in a cold cellar, or tank, till required. At the general's table I have frequently drunk punch thus made, more than six months old; and found it much improved by time and a cool atmosphere. 27. Punch Jelly. Make a good bowl of punch, d la Ford, already tie- scribed. To every pint of punch add an ounce and a half ofisinglass, dissolved in a quarter ofa pint of water(about half a tumbler full); pour this into the punch whilst quite hot, and then fill your moulds,taking care that they are not disturbed until the jelly is completely set. Orange, lemon, or calTs-foot jelly, not used at dinner, can be converted into punch jelly for the evening, by fol lowing the above directions, only taking care to omit a portion ofthe acid prescribed in making the sherbet. This preparation is a very agreeable refreshment on a cold night,but should be used in moderation; the strength ofthe punch is so artfully concealed by its admixture with the gelatine, that many persons, particularly of the softer sex,have been tempted to partake so plentifully of it as to render them somewhat unfit for waltzing or quadrilling after supper.

EEGENT's PUIfCH.

28. Gin Punch. (For bottling.) Following General Ford's plan, as already described, (or making sherbet, add good gin, in the proper propor tion before prescribed; this, bottled and kept in a cool cellar or cistern,tvill be found an economical and excellent Siuumer drink.

29. Glasgow Punch. (From tt rcdpe In the possession ofDr.Shelton Mnckenile.)

Melt lump-sugar in cold water,ttdth the juice ofa couple of lemons, passed through a fine hair-strainer. Tiiis is sherbet, and must be well mingled. Then add old Ja maica rum—one part of rum to five of sherbet. Gut a couple oflimes in two,and run each section rapidly around the edge of thejug or bowl, gently squeezing in some of the delicate acid. This done, the punch is made. Imbibe.
