123. CIRCUS LEMONADE. This drink in a bar-room is a Plain Lemonade colored with raspberry sprup; but a Circus Lemonade proper is a beverage that is sold on race courses and fair grounds, and is made in the following manner: Procure a large tub or headless barrel and fill it nearly full of water; add enough tartaric acid to suit and sweeten to taste with sugar (two pounds of tar- taric acid will make over thirty gallons of lemonade). Red aniline is used for coloring. Always slice up a few lemons, limes or oranges and throw in. • If you have no ice handy with which to cool this delightful beverage, procure a piece of glass and fasten it to the sides of the barrel with strings so it will float near the top, and put some of the sliced fruit on it. This little deception causes the drink to appear more inviting on a warm day.
