Hot Irish Whiskey Punch.
(Use medium bar-glass.)
- Take 1 wine-glass Kinahan’s or Jamieson’s Irish whiskey.
- Take 2 wine-glasses of boiling water.
- Take 2 lumps of loaf-sugar.
Dissolve the sugar well with one wine-glass of the water,[1] then pour in the whiskey, add the balance of the water, and put in a small piece of lemon rind, or a thin slice of lemon. Before using the glass, rinse it in hot water.
- ↑ Sugar does not readily dissolve in spirits; it is necessary, therefore, in
making hot toddy or punch to put in the water before the spirits, or at
least sufficient of the water to entirely dissolve the sugar, taking care to
warm the glass before pouring boiling water into it.
The best Hot Whiskey Punch is made with pulverized rock-candy. This is preferable to sugar, for any hot drink made of whiskey or brandy.
