(Use a fancy Champagne Julep glass.)

Take the sugar tongues and place 1 lump of loaf sugar into the glass, add 1 long sprig of fresh mint, then pour your champagne into the glass very slowly, and while doing so, keep on stirring gently all tfie time; place a piece of orange and a few strawberries (if in season) on top, and serve.

The above drink does not require to be stirred up as much as other Juleps, or else the Champagne will lose its flavor and natural taste, and foam to much. (See Illustration, Plate No. 14.)
