Cup

Cup is a name for a refreshing beverage, made usually of wine, soda-water, ice, and flavouring ingredients. Thus claret cup may be made of one quart of claret, one bottle of soda-water, half a pound of pounded ice, four tablespoonfuls of pounded sugar, a little grated nutmeg, a liqueur glass of Maraschino, and a sprig of green borage. Champagne cup may be made of one quart of champagne, two bottles of soda-water, one glass of brandy, one pound of pounded sugar, with borage or cucumber rind. Cider cup is similarly compounded.
