MISSISSIPPI PUNCH(For a Single Serving)
1 wine glass brandy
1/2 wine glass Jamaica rum
1/2 wine glass bourbon whiskey
1/2 wine glass water
1/4 large lemon
1 and 1/2 tbs. powdered white sugar
Place the above in a large tumbler filled with shaved ice. Shake well, and to those who like their draughts
"like linked sweetness long drawn out," let them use a glass tube or a straw to sip the nectar through. The top of this punch should be ornamented with small pieces of orange, and berries in season. For a large party, multiply the above by the number of imbibers and mix in a punch bowl.
From Bon-Vivant's Companion by Jerry Thomas, 1862.
