1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek
52 What Shall We Drink? fifteen oranges sliced and the slices halved, seven lemons sliced thin and the slices halved,and about a poiind of diced pineapple. Stir and stir until thoroughly chilled, then serve or let your guests help themselves at will, using lemonade glasses partly filled with ice. There's plenty to go around, as this mixture makes about eighty "long" drinks and even more "short"ones,if you prefer to serve it in smallslender goblets. WHISKY WHITEPUNCH Another good one is made of a pint of whisky, a half bottle of any white wine, about three ounces of Curacao, half a lemon squeezed into the potion,"gum" to suit taste and a generous triple squirt of vichy, seltzer or carbonated water to add a bit of effervescence. Shake well in iced shaker and serve your guests in Sherry glasses. This should make about fifteen drinks of this size. Some folks add a touch of Arrack. Try it. MARASCHINO PUNCH Here's a Maraschino punch for a party sure to please all. Get out your large punch bowl generously treated with cracked ice. Pour into it four quarts of seltzer or carbonated water and add three ounces of Axrack and a pint of Mara schino cordial (or more,if you prefer). Then cut into halves a half pound Maraschino cherries and add to the liquid without using the juice from the bottle they were in, and the juice of two lemons. Stir till very cold. Then serve in the usual punch glasses. This mixture makes about thirty-odd drinks. ALEPUNCH There are some folks who still cUng to the old-fashioned ale punch in America, although it is quite popular overseas, in England especially. Here's the usual recipe they follow: Into a large porcelain stewpan pour one quart of old ale and add one pint of boiHng water,seven ounces of Rum and the same amount of rye or Scotch whisky and gin.
