Modern Notes

  • A fifth of liquor refers to a 750 ml bottle, i.e. the most common size of alcohol bottle in 2025.
  • The original recipe calls from “sugar for lemonade for 6 lemons”. Exact ratios of sugar to lemon juice in lemonade recipes vary, but not by all that much. All of the recipes I checked called for around 1 cup of sugar. –David S
  • The original recipe called for “cherries + some juice”. I interpret the “some juice” as Cherry juice to your flavor/color preference. –David S
