Brandy Punch.

(Use large bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 tea-spoonful of powdered white sugar dissolved in a little water.[1]
  • Take 1 tea-spoonful of raspberry syrup.
  • Take 1 wine-glass of brandy.
  • Take ½ wine-glass of Jamaica rum.
  • Take Juice of half a lemon.
  • Take 2 slices of orange.
  • Take 1 piece of pineapple.

Fill the tumbler with shaved ice, shake up thoroughly, and dress the top with berries in season. Serve with a straw.


  1. The sugar is first dissolved in a little water, because it does not readily dissolve in spirits.
