Bonanza Punch

Our own Rocky Mountain punch as made for hotel dinners for two hundred and fifty. 10 quarts of water. 9 pounds of sugar. 2 dozen lemons. 6 oranges. 2 cans of pineapple. 1 pint of gin. 1 quart bottle of champagne. Grate the rinds of 6 of the lemons and 4 oranges into a bowl, and squeeze in the juice of all. Put on about 2 quarts of water, with a lot of sugar in, and the pineapple juice, making a hot syrup of it, and then pour it to the grated rinds and juice in the bowl to draw the flavor. Strain into the freezer, chop the pineapple and put in, add all the rest of the sugar and water, gin and champagne, color it pink and freeze.
