* Serves: 30
== Ingredients ==
* 1 quart orgeat syrup
* 1 pint cognac
* ½ do. Maraschino
* ½ do. Jamaican rum
* 2 bottles chilled champagne
* 2 do. soda water
* 6 ounces sugar
* 4 medium lemons
== Directions ==
# Thinly peel the lemons, then place the rind in a bowl with the sugar; soak them well for a minute or two in order to extract the flavor from the lemon.
# Next, squeeze the juice of two lemons into the bowl, add two bottles of soda water and stir well until the sugar is dissolved.
# Pour in the orgeat syrup and whip the mixture well with a whisk, in order to whiten the composition.
# Then, add the cognac, rum and maraschino and strain everything into a punch bowl.
# Add the champagne just before serving.
# While adding the champagne, stir the mixture well with a ladle—this will render the cup creamy and mellow.
