  Categories: German, Beverages, Ethnic
       Yield: 4 Servings
  
       2 tb Lemon juice
       3 tb Sugar
       1    Lemon
       2 pk Moselle wine
       1 pk Champagne
  
    Chill wine and champagne.
   
    Chill glass punch bowl thoroughly in refrigerator or
   by filling with ice.  When cold, dissolve suger in
   lemon juice in it. Peel lemon in spiral, with top of
   lemon left on.  Rub lemon spiral around sides of bowl
   and leave peel in bowl, hanging top end over edge.
   Pour wine over peel and let stand in refrigerator,
   15-20 minutes.  Add chilled champagne.
   
    Serve in glass punch cups, with 1-2 small ice cubes
   in each cup.
    If you like a greater sparkle, add a glass of club
   soda.
   
    This is the original of the now popular bottled wine
   drink.
    Classically, it is made with white wine and German
   champagne.
    The spiral of lemon peel, cut with the top of the
   lemon left on to be hung over the side of the punch
   bowl, is the "cold duck" that inspired the drink's
   name. The homemade version is an elegant far cry from
   the insipid bottled version.
