[Illustration: CLARET-CUP.]
_Ingredients._—1 bottle of claret, 1 bottle of soda-water, about ½
lb. of pounded ice, 4 tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar, ¼ teaspoonful
of grated nutmeg, 1 liqueur-glass of Maraschino, a sprig of green
borage. _Mode._—Put all the ingredients into a silver cup, regulating
the proportion of ice by the state of the weather; if very warm, a
larger quantity would be necessary. Hand the cup round with a clean
napkin passed through one of the handles, that the edge of the cup
may be wiped after each guest has partaken of the contents thereof.
_Seasonable_ in summer.
