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 the 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 freely.
