Forgotten Cook Books Series: Gingerade
I enjoy collecting old cookbooks, and pick them up at yard sales and flea markets whenever I can. Each Saturday, I post excerpts from my collection. Today’s post comes from the Sergeantsville Methodist Episcopal Church 1922 Cook Book. This flavorful, crisp, and refreshing drink may be the perfect summer afternoon beverage.
Gingerade
Juice of three lemons, one quart water, one bottle of ginger ale, sugar to taste. Serve ice cold. A delicious drink to serve with wafers in warm weather.

I love your Forgotten Cook Book idea. I have tons of old cook books; they are so sweet. I really get a feel for how our cuisine was from decade to decade by just thumbing through them. Is it possible to check out your past Forgotten Cook Books? (I am signing up for your email updates.

I’m glad you like the idea! So far, the only cookbook I’ve posted from here is the Sergeantville Methodist book; you can see all of the entries from this book here, or by clicking on the “Forgotten Cook Books Series” tag in the right sidebar.
In the next few months, I’ll be posting excerpts from a Kate Smith cookbook and the Armor Lard cookbook, to name a few, so stay tuned!
