Punches are used to serve between courses, or with a meat course. They should be frozen only to a mush.
Cook together one-half can of tomatoes, one cup of water, three apples cut in eights (without peeling), one cup of sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of ginger. When the apples are tender, rub through a fine sieve and add the juice of one lemon, two tablespoon-fuls of preserved ginger cut in fine pieces, four table-spoonfuls of maraschino; freeze; serve in glasses.
Make one quart of strong tea, made from Ceylon of Oolong; add the juice of one orange and of half a lemon, one cup of sugar, and before it is quite frozen add the beaten white of an egg. After freezing, stir in one cup of whipped cream; or, omit the cream in the freezing and put a spoonful on the top of the glasses when serving.
Boil one cup of sugar and two cups of water for fifteen minutes; add one cup of grape fruit juice, and the juice of one large lemon, the beaten white of one egg.
4 cups water. 2 cups sugar. 1 cup lemon juice. Juice of one orange.
White of one egg. 1 cup creme de menthe cordial.
Just before the punch is frozen, add the beaten white of egg, finish freezing and stir in the cup of creme de menthe; pack for one hour; serve in glasses.
Make the same as the mint punch, using the lemon ice for the foundation, and add, after freezing, a cup of rum. Orange ice may be used in place of the lemon ice for any of the punches.
Make an orange sherbet. When frozen, add a cup of champagne.
Make the same as champagne punch, using one cup of sauterne in place of the champagne.
Make a quart of pineapple, orange or lemon sherbet; when frozen, stir in one cup either of champagne, sauterne or rum, and a half cup of any of the above cordials.
In making the sherbets for the punches, one quart of ginger ale can be used in place of the water. This gives a very bright, sparkling punch, and when sauterne is added to it, can hardly be recognized from champagne punch.
These punches will serve twelve people. 10
1 quart water. 1 cup sugar.
2 tablespoonfuls lemon puice.
White one egg.
1/2 cup creme-de-menthe.
Freeze water, sugar and lemon juice. When frozen stir in the creme-de-menthe and fold in the white of egg that has been only slightly beaten.
