(FOR 12)

2 cups sugar

2 cups water

2 cups orange juice

2 cups grape juice

1 cup lemon juice

8 cups iced water

4 cups iced tea

Boil sugar and water 4 minutes. Cool. Add rest of Ingre­dients. Serve in glasses half filled with cracked ice. Top with mint leaves.

What! no liquor? Skip it if you feel that way about it, but we had to think of the fellows who have been ordered off the alcohol, and the ladies who are giving a party for the preacher.

Afterthought: Candied cherries, lemon and orange slices can be frozen in the ice cubes used for this punch if one has a mechanical refrigerator. The effect is decidedly artistic, and the goodness is de­cidedly enhanced.

Jack Rose Cocktail

1 lemon—juice only 1½ teaspoon grenadine sirup

1 jigger applejack brandy

2 dashes Peychaud bitters

Mix in barglass or directly in shaker. Add ice lumps and shake. Serve in cocktail glass. In spite of similarity of names this favorite was not named for the New York gang­ster. Jack Rose is merely our way of saying Jacqueminot rose—which the finished drink resembles in color.

Canal Street Daisy

¼ lemon—juice only ½ lime—juice only

2 dashes grenadine sirup

1 jigger rye whiskey

1 squirt carbonated water

Mix in a silver mug, pewter tankard, or highball glass. Fill with finely crushed ice and jiggle with spoon until well frosted. Decorate as you like with fruits or mint sprigs. Serve with a straw. This is a pre-prohibition favorite that is coming back into favor. A Gin Daisy is made the same way—merely substitute gin for the rye whiskey.

Stinger

2/3 jigger cognac brandy

1/3 jigger white creme de menthe

Mix in barglass, shake well with lumps of ice, and strain into chilled cocktail glass.

Widow's Kiss

½ pony yellow chartreuse ½ pony benedictine

1 pony apple brandy

2 dashes Peychaud bitters

Between-the-Sheets

½ jigger rum

½ jigger cognac brandy

½ pony triple sec or Cointreau
