One quart of cider, two bottles of soda water, one bottle of lemonade, one heaping tablespoonful of granulated sugar, a sprig of mint, and two inches of cucumber. Cut the cucumber into slices without peeling it. Place it in a pitcher with the sugar, cider, and mint. Allow it to stand, on ice if possible, for two hours. Then add the lemonade and soda water and a few pieces of ice, removing the mint.

EGG-NOG
Beat the yolk of one egg very light; add one wine-glass of whiskey drop by drop until the egg is cooked; next put in one tablespoonful of rum, one glass of rich milk or cream, and last the white of the egg beaten to a stiff froth. Nutmeg to taste.

GINGER PUNCH
Chop one pound of ginger, then add two cups of sugar, and one pint of water. Boil together fifteen minutes. When cool add one cup of orange juice and strain. This will flavor eight or ten cups of water.
