(From a recipe in the possession of Dr. Shelton Mackenzie.)
- Melt lump sugar in cold water, with the juice of a couple of lemons, passed through a fine hair-strainer
- This is sherbet, and must be well mingled
- Then add old Jamaica rum – one part of rum to five of sherbet
- Cut a couple of limes in two, and
- Run each section rapidly around the edge of the jug or bowl, gently squeezing in some of the delicate acid
- This done, the punch is made
- Imbibe
