Fill the goblet with wine, stir up with a spoon, and serve with a thin piece of twisted lemon peel.
A quart bottle of wine will make six cocktails.
Coffee Cocktail.
(Use a large bar-glass.)
- Take 1 tea-spoonful powdered white sugar.
- Take 1 fresh egg.
- Take 1 large wine-glass of port wine.
- Take 1 pony of brandy.
- Take 2 or 3 lumps of ice.
Break the egg into the glass, put in the sugar, and lastly the port wine, brandy and ice.
Shake up very thoroughly. and strain into a medium bar goblet. Grate a little nutmeg on top before serving.
The name of this drink is a misnomer, as coffee and bitters are not to be found among its ingredients, but it looks like coffee when it has been properly concocted, and hence probably its name.
Vermouth Cocktail.
(Use small bar-glass.)
- Take 2 dashes of Boker’s bitters.
- Take 1 wine-glass of Vermouth.
- Take 1 quarter slice of lemon.
Shake the bitters and vermouth with a small lump of ice, strain in a cocktail glass in which the lemon has been placed. If the customer perfers it very sweet, add two dashes of gum syrup.
