BURNT BRANDY AND PEACH.

Boonekamp and Whiskey.

(Use small whiskey-glass.)

Hand the customer a small whiskey-glass, a bottle of whiskey, a bottle of Boonekamp bitters, a glass of ice water, and let him mix to suit himself. This is an excellent occasional tonic.


“Jerry Thomas’” own Decanter Bitters.

(Bottle and serve in pony-glass.)

  • Take ¼ pound of raisins.
  • Take 2 ounces of cinnamon.
  • Take 1 ounce of snake-root.
  • Take 1 lemon and 1 orange cut in slices.
  • Take 1 ounce of cloves.
  • Take 1 ounce of allspice.

Fill decanter with Santa Cruz rum.

As fast as the bitters is used fill up again with rum.


Burnt Brandy and Peach.

(Use small bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 wine-glass of Cognac
  • Take 2 lumps of white sugar burnt in a saucer or plate.
  • Take 2 or 3 slices of dried peaches.

Place the dried fruit in a glass and pour the liquid over them.

This drink is very popular in the Southern States, where it is sometimes used as a cure for diarrhea.
