Punch a la Favorite

Arrange in a freezer one quart of strawberry water ice (No. 3607); work it well and mix in two gills of rum, one gill of brandy and a quarter as much Italian meringue (No. 140). Prepare and pack some goblet-shaped molds in salted ice, filling them three-quarters full of water slightly whitened with milk; when frozen to one-eighth of an inch in thickness empty out, then fill the mold entirely with water tinted red; when frozen to an eighth of an inch in thickness empty and range them in small fancy blue boxes; place in a freezing box and when ready to serve fill with the strawberry punch.
