Punch a la Romaine.

(For a party of fifteen.)

  • Take 1 bottle of rum.
  • Take 1 bottle of wine.
  • Take 10 lemons.
  • Take 2 sweet oranges.
  • Take 2 pounds of powdered sugar.
  • Take 10 eggs.

Dissolve the sugar in the juice of the lemons and oranges, adding the thin rind of one orange; strain through a sieve into a bowl, and add by degrees the whites of the eggs beaten to a froth. Place the bowl on ice for a while, then stir in briskly the rum and the wine.
