The Bar-tender's Guide/Crimean Cup, à la Marmora
Crimean Cup, à la Marmora.
(For a party of fifteen. Recipe by Soyer.)
- Take 1 pint of syrup of orgeat.
- Take ½ pint of Cognac brandy.
- Take ¼ pint of Maraschino.
- Take ¼ pint of Jamaica rum.
- Take 1 bottle of Champagne.
- Take 1 bottle of soda-water.
- Take 3 ounces of sugar.
- Take 2 lemons.
Peel the lemons very thin, and place the rind in a bowl with the sugar; macerate well for a few minutes to extract the flavor of the lemon-peel; add the juice of the lemons and the soda-water, stirring well until the sugar is dissolved; pour in the orgeat, and whisk well to whiten the composition. Then add the brandy, rum, and Maraschino, strain into a punch-bowl; and, just before serving, add the Champagne stirring well to render the cup creamy and mellow.
