Roman Punch

Pour into a freezing-pot one quart of peach water-ice, a bottle of dry champagne, two wineglassfuls of noyau, and the strained juice of four oranges. Color it a delicate pink with a few drops of cochineal, and flavor with essence of vanilla. Work the mixture until almost frozen, then add gradually the whites of three eggs made into Italian meringue; work all together quickly until smooth, and then serve.
