Claret-Cup

Ingredients

• 1 bottle claret
• 1 bottle soda-water, about 1/2 lb. of pounded ice
• 4 tablespoonful powdered sugar
• 1/4 teaspoonful grated nutmeg
• 1 liqueur-glass of Maraschino
• sprig green borage

Instructions

1. Put all the ingredients into a silver cup, regulating the proportion of ice by the state of the weather: if very warm, a larger quantity would be necessary.
2. Hand the cup round with a clean napkin passed through one of the handles, that the edge of the cup may be wiped after each guest has partaken of the contents thereof.
