Can't Find My Drink, Oh Man

A list of his preferred cigar brands, scans of his grocery lists, a graph of his debts and assets--this website's got everything you'd ever want to know about Jean Sibelius.
Also included: the composer's very own punch recipe:



1 l water + sugar + jam + brandy or spirit.
Add 2 bottles of wine when everything is completely cold.
Add a few drops of Bergamot oil in a lump of sugar, which
must be melted in the water.
(N.B. All mineral waters make the punch black.)

(Jean Sibelius--The Website)
