WHISKEY PUNCH (another way)

Whiskey, when it can be obtained genuine, is perhaps the purest spirit of any, and the least noxious when taken in large quantities. The sugar is first dissolved in boiling water, and the spirit added either in a tumbler or jug, and that is the general process. Some prefer a little lemon, in which case the sugar should be rubbed on the rind, and the juice added in making the syrup. It is also a common practice to add a spoonful of raspberry jam, which gives a pleasant taste to the beverage.
