The American Bar-Tender by R. C. Miller (1895, p.14) — R. C. Miller 1895

1. Prepare the drink in the same manner as Claret Punch, substituting Sauterne for claret.
2. Serve iced with fruit and a straw.

Garnish: Orange, lemon, seasonal berries

Ice: Shaved ice

Nose

Sweet white wine and citrus peel rise softly from the glass.

Palate

The sweeter wine makes this softer and rounder than the claret version, pushing the punch closer to a perfumed social refresher.

Finish

The finish is chilled, lightly honeyed, and fruit-bright.

Summary

A sweet-wine branch of the single-glass punch family.

This sort of explicit substitution entry is valuable because it shows how nineteenth-century books often treated recipes as families with understood base-wine swaps rather than as rigidly singular formulas.

Because Miller defines it through substitution, the service grammar is the important part to preserve here.

Daly's Bartenders' Encyclopedia by Tim Daly (1903, p.79)

1. Build the sugar, lemon, orange, pineapple, and fine ice in a large punch glass.
2. Pour in sauterne, mix well, dress with fruit, and serve with straws.

Garnish: Fruit.

Ice: Fine ice

Daly's hammock-and-summer-day gloss is a useful social framing for this wine-punch branch.

The fruit-dressed straw service keeps it in the single-glass punch family rather than cobbler service.
