Steep in 1 quart cognac brandy 6 lemons, cut in thin slices, for six hours. Then remove lemon without squeezing. Dissolve 1 pound loaf sugar in 1 quart boiling water, and add this hot solution to the cognac. Let it cool. _Bishop._ Stick an orange full of cloves, and roast it. When brown, cut it in quarters, and pour over it 1 quart of hot port. Add sugar to taste, and let mixture simmer for half an hour. _Archbishop._ The same as _Bishop_, with substitution of best claret for port. _Cardinal._ The same as _Archbishop_, with substitution of champagne for claret. _Pope._ The same as _Cardinal_, with substitution of Burgundy for champagne. _Locomotive._ Put 2 yolks of eggs into a goblet with 1 oz. of honey, a little essence of cloves, and a liqueur glass of Curaçoa; add 1 pint of high Burgundy made hot, whisk together, and serve hot in glasses. _Pousse l’Amour._ Fill a small wineglass half full of maraschino, then put in yolk of 1 egg; in this pour vanilla cordial, and dash the surface with cognac. _Blue Blazer_ (use two large silver-plated mugs with handles). One wine glass Scotch whiskey, 1 ditto boiling water. Mix whiskey and water in one mug; ignite, and, while blazing, pour from one mug to the other. Sweeten to taste, and serve in a bar tumbler, with a piece of lemon peel. _Blue Blazer_ is really nothing more than ordinary whiskey and water. _Black Stripe._ Into a small bar-glass pour 1 wine glass of Santa Cruz rum and 1 tablespoonful of molasses; cool with shaved ice, or fill up with boiling water, according to season. Grate nutmeg on top. This is ordinary rum and water. The following appeared in _Moonshine_, and may fitly conclude our chapter on American drinks, for which the verdant English youth has paid to the cunning dispenser so many nimble ninepences:— “Thou art thirsty, Amaryllis; say to what dost thou incline? Wilt thou toy with amber bubbles at the _Fons Burtonis_ brink? Shall I crown the crystal goblet with the flashing _Rhenish_ wine? Or it may be thou would’st wish for an _American long drink_? Shall I brew a _Flash of Lightning_ or a _Bourbon Whiskey-skin_? Or a _Saratoga Brace-up_? Sweetest, you have but to say. Nay, perhaps a _Bottle Cocktail_ would your kind approval win? Or a _Santa Cruz Rum Daisy_ will be something in your way? I can recommend a _Morning-Glory Cocktail_ to your taste And a _Corker_ or a _Nerver_ there are few who will despise; _Tom and Jerry_ offers pleasures it were folly rank to waste; In a _Nectar_ for the dog-days sweet Elysian rapture lies. Be not silent, Amaryllis, name your poison, whatsoe’er You’ve a mind for, be it _Thunder_, _Locomotive_, or _Egg Nogg_. I have all ingredients handy, and I reckon I’m all there When the question’s on the _tapis_ as to what shall be the grog.” [Illustration: AN AMERICAN BAR-TENDER.] [Illustration] BEERS.
