Shrub, or Essence of Punch.—(No. 479.)
Brandy or rum, flavoured with No. 477, will give you very good extempore “essence of punch.”
Obs.—The addition of a quart of Sherry or Madeira makes “punch royal;” if, instead of wine, the above quantity of water be added, it will make “punch for chambermaids,” according to Salmon’s Cookery, 8vo. London, 1710. See page 405; and No. 268 in Nott’s Cook’s Dictionary, 8vo. 1724.
