OXFORD PUNCH.

two more lemons; mix, and filter through a jelly-bag; and when the punch has passed bright, put it away in tight-corked bottles.

This punch is intended to be iced for drinking.

If intended for present use filtering is not necessary.


English Milk Punch.

(To make six bottles.)

  • Take 2 quarts of water.
  • Take 1 quart of milk.
  • Take 1 quart of old Jamaica rum.
  • Take 2 quarts of French brandy.

Add the milk to the water. Mix the spirits, and pour them into the milk, stirring the mixture for a short time. Let it stand for an hour, then filter through blotting-paper into bottles. This would be sufficient for six bottles. If, after filtering, the punch is not clear, the addition of a small portion of isinglass to each bottle will clarify it.


Oxford Punch.

  • Take 1 pint of Cognac brandy.
  • Take 1 pint of old Jamaica rum.
  • Take 1 quart of orange shrub.
  • Take ½ pint of sherry.
  • Take 1 bottle of Capillaire (see Index).
  • Take 2 quarts of boiling water.
  • Take 6 glasses of calf’s-foot jally.
