Mint Julep.

(Use large bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 table-spoonful of white pulverized sugar.
  • Take 2½ table-spoonfuls of water, mix well with a spoon.
  • Take 1½ wine-glass full of brandy.

Take three or four sprigs of fresh mint, and press them well in the sugar and water, until the flavor of the mint is extracted; add the brandy, and fill the glass with fine shaved ice, then draw out the sprigs of mint and insert them in the ice with the stems downward, so that the leaves will be above, in the shape of a bouquet; arrange berries, and small pieces of sliced orange on top in a tasty manner, dash with Jamaica rum, and serve with a straw.
