Bonanza Punch (for a Party)
Five quarts cold water, four and one-half pounds of fine sugar, the juice of twelve lemons, three oranges, one can pineapple, one-half pint Tom gin, one pint white wine. Grate the rinds of three lemons and two oranges into a bowl, add the juice of the oranges and lemons.
Put two quarts water, two pounds sugar, and the juice of pineapple on the fire, make a hot syrup of this, then pour it on the grated rinds and the juice to draw the flavor; chop the pineapple fine and add to mixture; stir well and strain all into a large punch-bowl half-full of very fine ice, add remainder of sugar and water, the gin, and wine; mix until cold, trim with fruit. Serve on ice with straws.
