One wineglass of Sherry. Four lumps of Sugar. Serve hot with grated Nutmeg on top. Bully Dawson's Punch "QUGAR, twelve tolerable lumps; hot O Water, one pint; Lemons, two, the Juice and Peel ; old Jamaica Rum, two gills ; Brandy, one gill; Porter or Stout, half a gill; Arrack, a slight dash. I allow myself five minutes to make a bowl in the foregoing proportions, carefully stirring the mixture as I furnish the ingredients, until it actually foams; and then Kangaroos! how beautiful it is!"
