Tartaric Acid

Hot water 4 ounces 8 ounces Mix, dissolve and filter through filter paper. Make but a small quantity, as it should be fresh.

NOTE.-"Acid phosphate" does not blend so well with grape juice as tartaric acid solution. The object of "phosphate" in soda water is to give a pleasant acid taste to the drink and to quench thirst. A solution of tartaric acid, as above, does this better than any other acid, and is cheap and readily prepared. It should be served from a "squirt" bottle, two or three "squirts" in a glass, with the carbonated water drawn upon it, and stirred with a spoon. Grape Punch.

Into a 12-ounce glass, 2 ounces plain syrup, fill glass half full fine shaved ice, 3 ounces "Welch's" grape juice, fill glass with carbonated water, stir and top off with slice pineapple or orange.

Grape Squeeze or Grape Lemonade.
