Pineapple Punch

1 quart water, 2 cups sugar, boil these for twenty minutes, then add: 2 cups pineapple juice, juice of 6 lemons, 3 pints ginger ale. The ginger ale should be added just before serving.

Pineapple Grape Punch

1 cup granulated sugar, 2 cups water, boil 1 minute and chill; then add: 1 pint grape juice, juice of two oranges, juice of two lemons, 1 cup of grated pineapple. Pour into glasses partly filled with cracked ice and add a few seeded white grapes.

Cranberry Cocktail

Fresh cranberry cocktail is made by cooking 2 cups cranberries in 2 cups water until soft, straining, adding 1/4 cup sugar, bringing to boil, and bottling. When serving add 1 tin pineapple juice.

Holiday Ice Cubes

Tinkling ice cubes may be colored or frozen with red and green maraschino cherries.

2 cupfuls of sugar, 1 cupful of water, 1/2 cup of orange juice, 1/2 cup of lemon juice, 1 cup of strawberry juice, 1 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of maraschino cherries. Boil the sugar and water to a syrup, and add the fruit juices. Let stand twenty minutes, strain and chill. Add the whole cherries. Sweeten or weaken, if necessary, to taste, and serve ice-cold. It will rarely need reducing with water unless the juices of preserved fruits have been used.

Fruit Punch

Make a syrup by boiling two cups sugar and one cup water for ten minutes. Let stand one-half hour; add one cup cold tea, juice of five lemons and five oranges, one can grated pineapple, and one pint strawberry syrup; strain, add ice water to make one and one-half gallons of liquid, turn this into a large punch bowl over a piece of ice, and add one-half pint maraschino cherries and one quart bottle Apollinaris water (or club soda). This amount will serve fifty people.

Pineapple Punch

A refreshing beverage, which brings an involuntary grace to one's lips as it is quaffed, is a fruit punch in which the pineapple plays an important part. Put into a bowl the juice of three lemons, two oranges sliced and seeded, one grated pineapple and one cup sugar. Let stand for one hour to extract the juice, then press and strain. Add to this juice two quarts of iced water and two slices of shredded pineapple, and serve.

Traditional Sherry Cobbler

It is best to mix this in a large bowl and fill in glasses just before serving, and put a little of each kind of fruit in each goblet with pounded ice. To begin with, cut pineapple in slices and quarters, a few oranges, and a lemon sliced thin; one cup of powdered sugar and one tumbler of sherry wine. A few berries, such as black and red raspberries and blackberries, are a nice addition. Cover the fruit with the sugar, laid in layers at the bottom of your bowl with pounded ice; add the wine and twice as much water as wine; stir all up well before serving.

Hot Punch Extract

Boil two pounds of cut loaf sugar with two cups of water. When clear add the juice of four lemons, and when cold add a bottle of arrack (spirituous liquor). In serving take one part punch extract and two parts boiling water.
