INSTRUCTIONS
Chill wine and champagne. Chill glass punch bowl thoroughly in
refrigerator or by filling with ice. When cold, dissolve suger in
lemon juice in it. Peel lemon in spiral, with top of lemon left on.
Rub lemon spiral around sides of bowl and leave peel in bowl, hanging
top end over edge. Pour wine over peel and let stand in refrigerator,
15-20 minutes. Add chilled champagne. Serve in glass punch cups, with
1-2 small ice cubes in each cup. If you like a greater sparkle, add a
glass of club soda. This is the original of the now popular bottled
wine drink. Classically, it is made with white wine and German
champagne. The spiral of lemon peel, cut with the top of the lemon
left on to be hung over the side of the punch bowl, is the "cold duck"
that inspired the drink's name. The homemade version is an elegant far
cry from the insipid bottled version. Source: The German Cookbook
