Claret Cup, à la Brunow.

(For a party of ten.)

  • Take 1½ bottle of Claret.
  • Take ⅓ pint of Curacoa.
  • Take ½ pint of sherry.
  • Take ¼ pint of brandy.
  • Take 1 wine-glass of raspberry ratafia (see Index).
  • Take 1½ oranges in slices.
  • Take ½ a lemon in slices.
  • Take 1 bottle of Seltzer water.
  • Take 1½ bottle of soda-water.

Stir all these together with some sprigs of green balm and borage, and a small piece of cucumber-rind; sweeten with capillaire or powdered sugar until it ferments; let it stand one hour, strain and ice it well. Serve in small glasses.

This is a preparation highly esteemed in Russia.
