_Ingredients._—1 quart bottle of champagne, 2 bottles of soda-water,
1 liqueur-glass of brandy or Curaçoa, 2 tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar, 1 lb. of pounded ice, a sprig of green borage. _Mode._—Put all
the ingredients into a silver cup; stir them together, and serve the
same as claret-cup. Should the above proportion of sugar not be found
sufficient to suit some tastes, increase the quantity. When borage is
not easily obtainable, substitute for it a few slices of cucumber-rind.

occasions.
