At all times cups are alluring decoctions, don't you think? And there
are many varieties of them. But they all begin in the same way. A
cordial glass each of maraschino, benedictine and brandy put into a
quart jug, and then if you fill the jug with champagne you have
champagne cup, with Rhine wine you have Rhine wine cup, and with cider
you have cider cup. If you use claret you add a few drops of lemon
juice and double the quantity of maraschino.
