Whiskey Shrub

Boil five pounds of moist sugar to a syrup with a pint of water. Add the strained juice of four pounds of lemons and one pound of Seville oranges. Stir the liquor, and when it is quite cold add half a pint of porter and a gallon of pine whiskey. Pour the mixture into a jar, cork closely, and shake it each day for seven days. Put it in a cool closet, and leave it for five weeks; then bottle, and store for use.
