PORT WINE NEGUS.
61

Fill up the glass with porter, and stir. Serve with a little grated nutmeg on top.


Porteree.

(Use large bar-glass.)

This is the same as the Porter Sangaree.


Port Wine Negus.

(Use small bar-glass.)

  • Take 1 wine-glass of Port wine.
  • Take 1 tea-spoonful of sugar.

Fill tumbler one-third full with hot water, and grate a little nutmeg on top before serving.


Port Wine Negus.

(General rule for preparing a quantity.)

  • To every pint of Port wine allow:
  • Take 1 quart of boiling water.
  • Take ¼ of a pound of loaf-sugar.
  • Take 1 lemon.
  • Take Grated nutmeg to taste.

Put the wine into a jug, rub some lumps of sugar (equal to one-quarter of a pound) on the lemon rind until all the yellow part of the skin is absorbed, then squeeze the juice and strain it. Add the sugar and lemon-juice to the Port wine, with the grated nutmeg; pour over it the boiling water, cover the jug, and when the beverage has cooled a little, it will be fit for use.
