Blue Blazer
Use two glass mugs. In one dissolve a teaspoonful of powdered sugar with a wine-glass of boiling water. Pour in one wine-glass of Scotch whiskey. Ignite the liquid with fire, and while blazing mix the ingredients by pouring from one mug to the other, four or five times. If expertly done it will have the appearance of a continued stream of fire, but the novice should be careful not to scald himself. Serve piping hot in a small glass with a piece of twisted lemon peel.
Hot Rum
In a heated bar glass pour one wine-glass of Jamaica rum. Add a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and a small piece of butter, big as the end of your fingernail. Fill with boiling water, stirring as you pour. Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve.
Port Wine Negus
Pour a large glass of Port wine into a pitcher. Rub five or six lumps of sugar against the rind of a lemon until all the yellow part of the skin is absorbed by the sugar. Squeeze the lemon juice on the sugar, strain, and add the lemon juice and sugar to the Port wine. Add grated nutmeg, fill up with boiling water, cover the whole, and when cooled off it will be ready to serve.
Hot Whiskey Toddy
Dissolve a teaspoonful of sugar with boiling water in a large bar glass. Add one wine-glass of Bourbon or Rye whiskey, and fill up with boiling water.
Hot Gin Sling
Dissolve a small spoonful of powdered sugar in a little boiling water, add a wine-glass of gin, and fill up with boiling water. Grate a little nutmeg on top and serve.
Rock and Rye
Stir together in a small container one tablespoonful of rock-candy syrup and one wine-glass full of Rye whiskey. Heat over a flame and drink hot. This is excellent for a cold.
Hot Italian
Pare the rind of four lemons, and squeeze the juice upon the peel, steeping it overnight. Then add half a pound of loaf sugar, a large glass of Sherry wine and a large glass of boiling water. Stir well, add three large glasses of boiling milk, strain through a cloth and serve piping hot.
Hot Scotch Punch
Mix in a large glass, one wine-glass of Scotch whiskey, two wine-glasses of boiling water. Add two lumps of sugar and serve.
Hot Irish Whiskey Punch
Mix in large glass, one wine-glass of Irish whiskey, two wine-glasses of boiling water, two lumps of sugar. Put in a small piece of lemon rind or a thin slice of lemon. Before using the glass, rinse it in hot water.

Dissolve a teaspoonful of powdered sugar in a little boiling water, add brandy and fill up with boiling water. Add a little grated nutmeg on top and serve.
Hot Applejack
Fill a container two-thirds full of boiling water, and one-third full of applejack. Squirt in juice of one quarter of a lemon, add two spoonfuls of sugar, garnish with a slice of lemon and serve.
