Vauxhall Punch
of which the recipe is in my possession.
A large tumbler, one wine-glass of old brandy, one ditto of old rum, one ditto of arrack, the juice of half a lemon, and a tablespoonful of sugar. Mix, strain into two small tumblers, and fill up each with boiling water.
Uncle Toby.
Here is another encouragement to the bile industry:—
Rub the rind of one lemon on two lumps of sugar, put the sugar in a large tumbler with the juice of the lemon, and dissolve in one wine-glass of boiling water; then add one wine-glass of brandy, one ditto of rum, and two dittoes of hot stout; mix well, strain, and add more sugar if necessary. {113}
Victoria Punch.
Throw into a bowl one lemon cut in slices, free from pips, two ounces of sifted sugar, two wine-glasses of boiling water, one wine-glass of hot milk, one wine-glass of old rum, and one ditto of ancient brandy; keep stirring whilst adding the ingredients; strain and serve.
Yorkshire Punch.
I have not yet met this in the North Riding; but it is never too late to copy a good recipe.
