Brandy Crusta
Jerry Thomas (1862)
Take 3 or 4 dashes of gum syrup (Sugar Syrup)
1 dash of Boker's bitters.
1 wine-glass of Brandy (Cognac)
2 dashes of Curacoa. (Curacao)
1 dash Lemon Juice.
Before mixing the above ingredients, prepare a cocktail glass as follows: Rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the glass, and dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon the same as you would an apple (all in one piece) so that the paring will fit in the wine-glass, as shown in the cut. Put the above ingredients into a small whiskey glass filled one-third full of shaved ice, shake up well and strain the liquid into the cocktail glass prepared as above directed.
