MIXING THE ST.CHARLESPUNCH Gracious! Here's one of my long ago favorites! The St. CharlesPunch will please you,too,I'll wager. Try this:Pour into shaker holding ice, a pony of brandy, two ounces of Port wine, a tablespoon of lemon juice and "gum" to taste. Shake well and pour into goblet, filling it with finely crushed ice. Top off with your favorite fruits or berries, add just one more dash of Port wine and put your straw or glass sipper into the mixture ready for a treat! Your own ingenuity, after you study these punch recipes, will undoubtedly lead you on to the devising of even more enjoyable mixtures. Variations in the use of cordials and flavoring syrups will suggest themselves. At least, you'll enjoy those in this array from the master-mixers of the yesterdays.
