Claret Cup
Dissolve in a little water six lumps of loaf sugar; add to this one sliced orange, one sliced lime, the juice of one lemon, one liqueur glass of Medford rum, and one quart of St. Julien claret. Pour into your claret pitcher in which has been previously placed ice and the paring of one cucumber. Stir well and after a few moments remove the cucumber paring. Lastly, add one bottle of plain soda. Place a bunch of mint in the top of the pitcher, stems down, and serve.
Claret Cup No. 2
Same as above, substituting one pint of champagne for the soda, leaving out the mint and cucumber, and adding a few slices of pineapple and any small fruit for garnish.
