166 CIRCUS LEMONADE. '!'his drink in a barroom is a Plain Lemonade colorell with raspberry syrup; but a proper Circtis Lemonade is a beverage that is made to sell at large gatherings, such as circuses, fair grounds, race-courses and church fairs, and is made in the following manner: - Procure a large tub or headless barrel and fill it nearly full of water, . add enough citric or tartaric acid to suit, and sweeten to taste with sugar. Two pounds of acid will make over thirty gallons of lemonade. Cochineal coloring (see Recipe No. 458) will make it a beautiful red color. Always slice up a few lemons or oranges and throw in. If you have no ice bandy with which to cool this delightful beverage, pr•J•;ure a piece of glass and fasten it to the sid es of the barrel with strings, so it will float near the top, and put some of the sliced fruit on it. '!'his little deception causes the drink to appear more inviting on a warm day. A strawberry is usually added at chmch fairs, and two or three berries might possibly be used for a picnic.
