Orange Punch.
- Take ¾ pint of rum.
- Take ¾ pint of brandy.
- Take ½ pint of porter.
- Take 3½ pints of boiling water.
- Take ¾ pound of loaf-sugar.
- Take 4 oranges.
Infuse the peel of two and the juice of four oranges with the sugar, in the water for half an hour; strain, and add the porter, ram and brandy. Sugar may be added, if it be desired sweeter. A liqueur-glass of Curaçoa, Noyeau, or Maraschino is considered an improvement.
Instead of using both rum and brandy, one-and-a-half pints of either alone will answer.
This is also an excellent recipe for Lemon Punch by substituting lemons for oranges.
