The Bar-tender's Guide/Coffee Cocktail
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.

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.
