As the name would indicate this punch is dear to the hearts as well as palates of the Southern people and is used always to entertain distinguished guests. All the Presidents and distinguished potentates have drunk deep of this delicious concoction. In spite of a declaration of a distinguished Southerner, that one glass of this punch would make you climb the nearest lamp post, two glasses will make you unable to reach the lamp post, the third, alas! will make you fight yourself.

7

One and a half gals. (6 qts.) Jamaica rum, 8 qts. Apollinaris, 2 lbs. sugar, 1 jar or can Maraschino cherries, 1½ doz. lemons, 1 can sliced pineapple, 1 small tumbler raspberry cordial. Reserve 3 qts. of Apollinaris; just before serving add, to produce an effervescent effect. It is best to place bowl of punch on a block of ice for some time before serving, instead of in the punch. Then look out for the nearest lamp post.
