I could really go for a cocktail! Something different? I know - how about a little something made from a vintage cocktail recipe!

TOKAY PUNCH


Out of 6 pounds of Tokay Grapes, select one pound to be put into the Punch last.

Now make a boiling Syrup of three pounds of Sugar and one quart of boiling Water and pour this over the remaining five pounds of grapes.

When partly cold rub it through a sieve, leaving skins and seeds behind.

Then add the Juice of two Oranges and two Lemons and one quart of St. Julien Claret, 1 jigger of Angostura Bitters.

Then strain and freeze.

Before serving add 1 pint of good Brandy and an Italian Meringue Paste of six Egg whites, colored a nice red and drop in the remaining Grapes.

TOM AND JERRY


Make a batter by separating the yolks from whites of a given number of Eggs; beating the whites to a stiff froth and stirring the yolks until very thin. (whoa, major raw egg alert!)

Ok, anyone know where I could find a "Tom and Jerry" bowl and mug?

Then mix together in a Tom and Jerry bowl, stirring in Bar Sugar slowly until the batter is stiff and serve as follows:

Fill Tom and Jerry Mug 1/4 full of Batter.

1/2 jigger Rum.

1/2 jigger Brandy.

Stir well with Bar spoon; fill up with Hot Water; stir more; grate nutmeg on top and serve.
