Peel the lemons very thin, and place the rind in a bowl with the sugar; macerate well for a few minutes to extract the flavor of the lemon-peel; add the juice of the lemons and the soda-water, stirring well until the sugar is dissolved; pour in the orgeat, and whisk well to whiten the composition. Then add the brandy, rum, and Maraschino, strain into a punch-bowl; and, just before serving, add the Champagne stirring well to render the cup creamy and mellow.
