Pineapple Punch.

(For a party of ten.)

  • Take 4 bottles of Champagne.
  • Take 1 pint of Jamaica rum.
  • Take 1 pint of brandy.
  • Take 1 gill of Curaçoa.
  • Take Juice of four lemons.
  • Take 2 pineapples sliced.

Sweeten to taste with pulverized white sugar.

Put the pineapple with quarter of a pound of sugar in a glass bowl, and let them stand until the sugar is well soaked in the pineapple, then add all the other ingredients, except the Champagne.

Let this mixture stand in ice for about an hour, then add the Champagne, and ornament with sliced orange, and other fruits in season.

Serve in Champagne glasses.

Pineapple punch is sometimes made by adding sliced pineapple to brandy punch.
