Punch au Bordeaux.—Grate off the yellow part of the rind of two oranges on half a pound of loaf sugar in lumps, pour half a pint of water over this and let stand for some time covered. Then boil it to a syrup, and when ready lift it off the fire; when it has somewhat cooled add to it the strained juice of three oranges, and as soon as this is all quite cold stir into it half a bottle of claret and a table- spoonful of brandy, and freeze. A full dessert- spoonful of red currant jelly, previously melted, and a little port wine instead of the brandy are much liked by some people.
