Method

Pour the lemon juice and sugar syrup into a mixing glass. Shake in the bitters, then add the grenadine, rum and slices of orange and lemon. Stir thoroughly and chill in the refrigerator until very cold.

To serve, fill an old-fashioned glass with cracked ice, pour in the punch, without straining, and sprinkle with nutmeg.

Variation: For a Planter’s Punch, substitute lime juice for the lemon juice, a slice of lime for the lemon slice, increase the quantity of grenadine to 1 teaspoon and use dark rum.
