Californian (or Orgeat) Lemonade. Put into a large tumbler the juice of a lemon, half a tablespoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of orgeat syrup, one wineglass of water, and half fill with shaved ice; shake well, fill up with soda-water, decorate with slices of orange and lemon, and berries in season, and serve with a straw. Egg Lemonade. Put into a large tumbler the juice of one lemon, half fill the tumbler with shaved ice; add one tablespoonful of icing sugar, and break a new- laid egg into the compound. Shake well, strain, fill with soda-water, and dust with nutmeg and cinnamon. Serve with a straw. Lemonade for Parties. Rub half a pound of loaf sugar into the rind of two lemons until it has imbibed all the oil from them ; then mix with a quart of boiling water and the juice of three large lemons in a stone jug until the sugar has dissolved ; then strain through a piece of muslin, and when cool it will be ready for use. The addition of the white of an egg well beaten up and a little sherry mixed with it, is a great improvement to the above drink, which can be made in larger or smaller quantities as desired by increasing or diminishing the ingredients. Ice if required.
