1900 Harry Johnsons Bartenders Manual (Mixellany)

— 208 — RHINE WINE AND SELTERS. (Use a large wine glass.)

The bartender's attention is called to the fact that when a customer calls for Rhine wine and selters water, he desires a larger portion of wine than of selters, and, if he should call for selters and wine, he desires more selters than wine; it is understood, in serving wine and selters, the imported selters must be used, the artificial selters will spoil the wine and destroy its flavor; attention must be paid that both the wine and the selters are continually kept on ice. This is a favorite drink with German people and preferred by them in many cases to lemonade. IMPERIAL BRANDY PUNCH. (For a party of twenty.) 4 quarts of German imported selters water; 3 quarts of brandy (Martell);

1 pint of Jamaica rum; 1 | pound of white sugar; Juice of 6 lemons; 3 oranges sliced; 1 pinapple, pared and cut up; 1 gill of curagoa;

2 gills of raspberry syrup; Ice and berries in season; Mix well together in a large bowl, and you will have a splendid punch. If not sweet enough, add more sugar.

BRANDY AND SODA. (Use a large bar glass.)

3 or 4 lumps of broken ice; 1 wine glass of brandy (Martell); 1 bottle of plain soda-water;
