HOT WHISKEY. (Use a hot whiskey glass.)

Place a bar spoon into the glass before pouring in hot water, to avoid cracking the glass, and have a separate glass filled with fine ice, which must be placed in a convenient position, so that if the cus- tomer finds his drink too hot, he can help himself to a little ice. The bartender should at all times handle the sugar with a pair of tongues. Mix as follows: 1 or 2 lumps of loaf sugar, with a little hot water to dissolve the sugar well; 1 wine glass of Scotch whiskey; Fill the glass with hot water, then mix well; squeeze and throw in the lemon peel, grate a little nutmeg on top, and serve. It is customary to use Scotch whiskey in preparing this drink, unless otherwise desired by the customer. MEDFORD RUM PUNCH.
