1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

54 What Shall We Drink? may wish, whether the party is a foursome,a two or a three table affair. Now for a few milk punches, and then on to other varie ties, for we have many to cover. MILK PUNCHES While milk punches are excellent for the sick, they're not a bit bad for the healthy,and it is well to know how to mix a few for either type of drinker. Here's an individual punch, which you may multiply as many times as you wish,to serve as many as required: Get out the shaker and put in a few pieces of cracked ice. Now pour in about five ounces of milk (or two ounces of evaporated cream diluted with three ounces of water) and add to this three ounces of whisky, or brandy, or five ounces of Sherry, as you feel inclined to use either. Sweeten to taste with "gvun," shake thoroughly and pour into a large tumbler partly fiUed with shaved ice. Drink from rim or use straw or glass sippers, as you wish. Some persons like to add an egg after it has been beaten, but if egg is added,do not attempt to sip wdth straw or glass sipper. It might be preferable, besides, to strain the mixture through a sieve when pouring into tumbler. COCOAMILKPUNCH A punch the ladies like, bless'em,is mixed Hke this: Into an iced shaker pour eight ounces of milk and add two to three ounces of Creme de Cocoa and the white of one egg. Shake well and serve into a 12-ounce glass, filUng glass with a fine stream of vichy or seltzer. Obviously,for two you will take twice as much,for three thrice as much,etc. And here's another milk punch: Pour into shaker two ounces of brandy and an ounce and a half of rum. Add"gum"to taste and aboutfour teaspoons of water. Shake and pour into tumbler partly filled with BRANDY MILKPUNCH
