The Spread Eagle Punch

Whisky made in Scotland, divided into four distinct categories: single malt, vatted malt (also called "pure malt"), blended and single grain. Malt whisky must contain no grain other than malted barley and is traditionally distilled in pot stills. Older recipes typically call for strong, smokey single malt Scotch. By the early 1900s blended Scotch was more often used.

Older name for rye whiskey derived from the Monongahela River in Pennsylvania, where rye was commonly produced and aged before Prohibition. The Monongahela Valley was the site of the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794.

Common name for Citrus limon.

Many 19th century recipes specifically called for white sugar, which is more refined and preferred over browner sugars. But modern white sugar is probably too refined, making raw cane sugar the best, easily available choice.
