_Gin Sangaree_ is made in exactly the same way, substituting Old Tom for brandy. _Port Wine Sangaree._ A small tumbler, a glass and a half of port, and a teaspoonful of sugar. Add crushed ice, shake well, strain into another glass, and dust with nutmeg. _Porteree_ is made like ale sangaree, with the substitution of porter for ale. And in _Sherry Sangaree_ the wine of Spain takes the place of the wine of Portugal. _Slings_ can be made with brandy, gin, or whisky. The Americans mix a wine-glassful of the spirit with half a wine-glassful of water, a teaspoonful of sifted sugar, and a lump of ice. In England soda-water is mixed with the spirit. What we call a gin-sling is known in the United States as a _John Collins_, but in certain regimental messes this “John” used not to be considered properly attired without {164} the addition of a little curaçoa—the quantity varying with the effect it was intended to produce upon the unsuspecting guest. Occasionally, at about sunrise, boiling water was substituted for soda-water. _Brandy Smash._ Put into a small tumbler half a tablespoonful of sifted sugar, one tablespoonful of water and a wine-glassful of old brandy; add crushed ice, and shake well. Put in a sprig or two of mint, with two slices of orange on the top, and drink through a straw. _Champagne Smash._ Small tumbler, tablespoonful of sugar; ice, and fill up with champagne. Add mint, as in above recipe, and serve with a straw. _Gin Smash._ Small tumbler, teaspoonful of sugar, half a wine-glassful of water, and a wine-glassful of gin. Add ice, mint, and a slice or two of orange. Serve with a straw. _Whisky Smash_ is made in the same way, substituting whisky (Irish or Scotch) for gin. _Santa Cruz Smash._ Put into a small tumbler one teaspoonful of sugar, half a wine-glassful of water, and a wine-glassful of Santa Cruz, or white rum. Add crushed ice, and mint. Serve with a straw. {165} _Apple Jack Sour_ is but seldom called for in this tight little island. In America it is made in a large tumbler, with half a tablespoonful of sugar, the juice of half a lemon, a squirt of Seltzer water from a syphon, and a wine-glassful of old cider brandy. Nearly fill the glass with crushed ice, and ornament with any fruit in season. _Bourbon Sour._ Small tumbler, one teaspoonful of sugar, the juice and rind of a quarter of a lemon, one wine-glassful of Bourbon whisky. Add crushed ice, shake well, and strain. _Brandy Sour_ is exactly the same potion, with the substitution of brandy for Bourbon whisky. And _Whisky Sour_ is the same, made with whisky. At the Bengal Club, Calcutta, the _Gin Sour_ has attained to renown.
