An orange punch isn't just the innocent tipple that its name would
seem to indicate. But that doesn't hinder its being a treat for the
palate. Infuse the peel of three and the juice of six oranges with
three-quarters of a pound of loaf sugar in two quarts of boiling water
for half an hour. Strain and add to the juice a half pint of brandy
and a liqueur glass of maraschino. And it is quite likely that you
will think it needs a little more sugar; if so, add it. Now it may be
that you will like this hot, or it may be that you will like it cold;
in the latter case cool it on the ice for several hours before serving
or ice it when serving. This is also an excellent recipe for lemon
punch--substituting lemons for the oranges.
