PREFACE.

In all ages of tho world, and in all countrios, men have in dulged in"so cial drinks." Tliey have al ways possess ed diemselves ofsome popu lar beverage a j» a r t from w a ter and those of the breakfast and tea table. Vv'liether it is judicious that mankind should con-

tinue to indulge in such tilings, or wiiothcr it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that cliaraotc-r, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. "Wo simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in tho 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, a punch, or ajulep, or a cocktail, who has never happened to make tlie acquaint ance ofthose refreshing articles under circumstances calculated to induce more intimate relations; but wo do propose to instruct those wliose "in timate relations" in question render them somewhat fastidious, in tlie • daintiest fasliious thereunto pertaining. "VVe very well remember seeing one day in London, in tho rear of tho

PREFACE.

Bank of England, a small drinking saloon that had been sot up "by a peripatetic American, at the doorxof which was placed a board covered •with the unique titles of the American mUed drinks supposed to bo pre pared within that limited establishment. The "Connecticut eye-open ers" and "Alabama fog-cutters," togethervrith-the "lightning-smashes" and the "thunderbolt-cocktails," created a piofoimd sensation in tho crowd assembled to peruse the Noctarian bill of faro, if they did not produce custom. It struck ua, then, timt a list of all tho social drinks —the composite beverages,if wo may call them so—of America, would rcaUy be one of the curiosities of jovial literature; and that if it was combined with a catalogue of the mixtures coraraon'to other nations, and made practicaUy useful by the addition of a concise description of the various processes for "browing" each, it would be a "blos.sing to ankind" There would bo no excuse for imbibmg,w;th such a book at w]the "villainous compounds" of bar-keeping Goths and Yandals, who know no moro of the amenities of bon vivant existence than a Hot- tentot can know of the bouquet of clinmpagne. „ • • "There's philosophy,"says Father Tom in tho drama, oven m a jug nf nunch" Ve claim the credit of"philosophy teaching by example," 1 n to no ordinary extent in tho composition of this volume; for our A.,exhibits the title of eighty-six different kinds of punches,together ZTa universe of cobblers,juleps, bitters,cups,slings, shrubs,&c., each Id .U of which tho reader is carefidly educated how to concoct in tho the perfection of this education, tho name, alone, choicest mnner. ho has travelled Europe and of Jerry recondite in this branch of tho spirit art. America m Olympus of tho bar at tho Metropolitan Hotel He has been J ^ presiding deity at tho Planter's House, St. ZlT nThas been the proprietor of one of the most recbercbe saloons ^New oLus as weU as in New York. His very name is synonymous in the lexicon of mixed drinks, with all that is rare and • To the "Wine Press," edited by F- S. Cozzens, Esq., we are indebted for the composition of .several valuable punches, and among them wo may naXZize the celebrated "Nuremburgh," and the equally fammis ^adeiphia Fish House" punch. The rest we owe to the msp.rat.ou of Jem/ZhomM himself, and as he is as inexorablo as the Medes and US principle that no exceUent ^ any thin- but excellent materials, wo conceive that we are..ate in as..crt. ing that whatever may be prepared affer his instructions ^ apeak eloquently for itself. "Good wine needs no bush, SbakespearQ tells us and over one of Jerry's mixtures eulogy is qmte as reUunaant.

OB,

THE BOH-YIYANT'S COMPANION.

1. PUNCH.

To make punch of any sort in perfection, the amhrosial essence of the lemon must be extracted by rubbing lumps ofsugar on the rind,which breaks the delicate little vessels that contain the essence, and at the same time absorbs it. This, and making the mixture sweet and strong, using tea instead of water,and thoroughly amalgamating all the com pounds,so that the taste ofneither the bitter, the sweet,the spirit, nor the element, shall be perceptible one over the other, is the grand secret, only to be acquired by practice. In making hot toddy, or hot punch,you must put in the spirits before the water: in cold punch, grog, tfcc., the other way. ' The precise portions of spirit and water, or even of the acidity and sweetness,can have no general rule,as scarcely two persons make punch alike.

.Rub the sugar over the lemons until it has absorbed all the yellow part of the skins,then put the sugar into a punch-bowl; add the ingredients well together, pour over them the boiling water, stir well together; add the rum brandy and nutmeg; mix thoroughly, and the punch will be ready to serve. As we have before said, it is very im portant, in making good punch,that all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated; and, to insure success, the process of mixing must be diligently attended to. Allow a quart for four persons; but this information must be taken cum grano salis y for the capacities of persons for this Idnd of beverage are generally supposed to vary con siderably. 6. Irish "Whiskey Punch. " This is the genuine Irish beverage. It is generally made one-third pure whiskey,two-thirds boiling water, in which the sugar has been dissolved. If lomon punch, the rind is rubbed on the sugar, and a small proportion of juice added before the whiskey is poured in. (For a party.) This beverage ought always to be made with boiling water, and allowed to concoct and cool for a day or two before it is put on the table. In tliis way,the materials get more intensely amalgamated than cold water and cold whiskey ever get. As to the beautiful mutual adajUation of cold rum and cold water,that is beyond all praise, being one of Nature's most exquisite achievements. (See"Glas- goto Punchy'' 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.

lemon juice was now thrown in ; and as soon as the ker nels "wnre free from their transparent coating,their liquor (Vas 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 generaPs maxim. The sherbet was then measured,and to every three quarts a pint of Cognac brandy and a pint of old Jamaica rum wore allotted, the spirit being well stirred as poured in; bottling immediately followed, and, when completed, the hcverage was kept in a cold cellar, or tank, till required. At the generaPs 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, u la Ford, already de scribed. To every pint of punch add an ounce and a half of isinglass, dissolved in a quarter ofa pintof 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 jolly is completely set. Orange, lemon, or calfs-foot jelly, not used at dinner, can be converted into punch jolly for the evening, by fol lowing the above directions, only taking care to omit a portion of.the acid prescribed in making the sherbet. This preparation is a very agreeable refreshment on a cold night, but should be used in modei*ation; the strength of the 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.

It is but little used in America, except to flavor punch; the taste of it is very agreeable in this mixture. Arrack improves very much with age. It is much used in some parts of India, where it is distilled from todchj, the juice of the cocoanut tree. An imitation ofarrack punch is made by adding to a bowl of punch a few grains of benzoin,commonly called flowers of Benjamin. See recipe No. 30,in '•'•The ^Manual for the Manufacture of Cordials, etcf in the end of this volume.

61. Arrack Punch.

In making 'i-ack punch, you ought to put two glasses (wine-glasses) of rum to three of arrack. A good deal of Biigar is required ; but sweetening, after all, must be left to taste. Lemons and limes arc also matter of palate,but two lemons are enough for the above quantity; put then an equal quantity of water—i.e., not five but six glasses to allow for the lemon juice, and you have a very pretty three tumblers of punch.

52. Arrack Punch.

(Another method.)

Steep in one quart of old Batavia arrack, six lemons cut in thin slices, for six hours. At the end of that time the lemon must be removed without squeezing. Dissolve one pound ofloaf-sugar in one quart of boiling water,and add the hot solution to the arrack. Let it stand to cool. Tliis is a delightful liqueur^ aud should be used as such. See recipe No.342,iu '■'■The Manual for the Manufacture of Cordials, etc.f in the end of this volume. 53. Bimbo Punch.

This is a composition ^vorlhy of a king, and the mate rials are admirably blended; the inebriating effects of the spirits being deadened by the tea, whilst the jelly softens tJie mixture, and destroys the acrimony of the acid and sugar. The whites of a couple of eggs well beat up to a froth, may be substituted for the jelly where that is not at hand. If the punch is too strong, add more green tea to taste. 59. Century Club Punch.
