The Bar-tender's Guide/Egg Nogg
Egg Nogg.
(Use large bar-glass.)
- Take 1 large tea-spoonful of powdered white sugar.
- Take 1 fresh egg.
- Take ½ wine-glass of brandy.
- Take ½ wine-glass of Santa Cruz rum.
- Take A little shaved ice.
Fill the glass with rich milk and shake up the ingredients until they are thoroughly mixed. Pour the mixture into a goblet excluding the ice, and grate a little nutmeg ontop. This may be made by using a wine-glass of either of the above liquors, instead of both combined.
Every well ordered bar should have a tin egg-nogg “shaker,” which is a great aid in mixing this beverage.
