Barbara Adkins always has a bowl of this potent libation at her party. It was the traditional drink of the St. Cecilia Society, founded in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1762. Ingredients:
1 cup brandy |
2 small lemons, thinly sliced |
1/2 cup sliced fresh pineapple |
1 cup brewed green tea |
3/4 cup sugar |
1/2 cup dark rum |
1/4 cup peach-flavored liqueur (such as peach schnapps) |
2 cups sparkling water, chilled |
1 (750-milliliter) bottle champagne, chilled |
Directions:
1. Combine brandy and lemons in a large bowl. Cover and let stand at room temperature 24 hours.
2. Add pineapple to brandy mixture. Let stand 3 hours.
3. Combine brandy mixture, tea, and next 3 ingredients (through liqueur), stirring until sugar dissolves. Add sparkling water and Champagne, stirring gently until blended. Serve immediately.
