The Challenge: Make a food with religious significance, associated with a sacred celebration, or with a thematic name. [I'm late on this one, which was set to end last Saturday the 27th, because I had trouble finding something suitable.]
The Receipt: A Bishop (Protestant) from How to Mix Drinks: Or, The Bon-Vivant's Companion by Jerry Thomas
183. A Bishop
(Protestant)
4 table spoons of white sugar
2 tumblers of water
1 lemon in slices
1 bottle of claret
4 table spoons of Santa Cruz or Jamaica [rum]
Ice
Year & Region: 1862, American
How Did You Make It: Sliced lemon and stirred in with all other ingredients. Served over ice.
Time to Complete: 5 minutes
Total Cost: Varies with the quality of the wine and rum.
How Successful Was It: Good. Tasted like cold, slightly sweet wine.
How Accurate Was It: Substituted a cabernet sauvignon for claret (budgetary reasons).
