Colonial Christmases can be gained from list
issued In l744 BY the County Court ol Chowsn,
N. G, mentioning Madeira, Canary vidonia.
Carolina cider, northern cider, strong malt beer
of American make, nip with half pint of rum
in it, porter from Great Britain, punch With
loaf sugar, lime juice, and half . pint Of rum.
Britih ale or beer bottled and wired In Great
Britain.
OF imported wines those most frequently
found In decanters during the holiday season
are Madeira. claret. Canary vidonia, burgundy
and other French wines. port, and brandy. al
though the latter is not generally popular In
the Colonies
In those days q capable housewife was sup
posed to know how to compound variety OF
beverages, . large share Of which were for the
festive dinners during the Christmas holidays.
On Southern plantations tremendous quanti-
ties Of apple and peach brandy, cherry fling and
cherry rum were made Martha washinston
herself made . famous peach brandy sweetened
with honey. On one occasion Van Coftlandt Of
New York squared one Virginia account BY ac-
cepting 600 gallons Of peach brandy instead Of
cash Which seems to point to the fact that
such drinks were not made with . nisyardy
hand In the Old Dominion.
Beer, cider, cider brandy and rum also flowed
freely at the Christmas board. Beer was
-brewed at home by housewives OF IN breweries
In some Of the towns. Cider gradually sup
planted beer IN the South, however, each
coionist usually laying In for the Winter As
barrels o. 80. Indeed, the demand for cider was
60 great that an apple orchard was an absolute
necessity to . colonist.
Punch was exceedingly popular, and each
hostess saw to It that her large silver punch
bowls were filed during the Yuletide with this
tempting drink which came to the English
Colonies in America from the English colonies
In India. The word punch is from the Hindu
stani '-panch," meaning i've, and 1t refers to
the i've ingredients used In the drink-tea,
arrack, sugar, lemons and water.
