CURACOA

Into a bottle which will hold a full quart, or a little over, drop 6
ounces of Orange Peel sliced very thin, and add 1 pint of Whiskey. Cork
the bottle securely and let it stand two weeks, shaking the bottle
frequently during that time. Next strain, the mixture, add the Syrup,
pour the strained mixture back into the cleaned bottle and let it stand
3 days, shaking well now and then during the first day. Next, pour a
teacupful of the mixture into a mortar and beat up with it 1 drachm

the bottle and let it stand for 10 days, at the expiration of which time
