Seville oranges are not generally used at Oxford in making Negus; when they . are, one orange is allowed to each bottle of wine. COLD WHITE WINE NEGUS. To make white wine Negus, let the mixture iltand until it is quite cold, and then pour a bottle of white wine into it. It is sometimes in the summer season placed in a tub of ice : when that is done it will be necessary to make the Negus some– what sweeter, as extreme cqld detracts from the sweetneBB of liquors. PORT WINE NEGUS. In making port wine Negus, merely omit the jelly : for when port wine comes in con– tact with calves-feet jelly, it immediately assumes a disagreeable muddy appearance. Negus is not confined to any particular sorts of wine ; if the jelly is omitted, it can be made with any, or several sorts mixed together.
