(Use large bar-glass.)
Take 1 ½ tea-spoonful of sugar.
1 fresh egg.
2 or 3 small lumps of ice.

Fill the tumbler with cider, and shake well. This is a delicious drink, and was very popular on the Mississippi river in old times. It is said to have been General Harrison's favorite beverage. Baltimore Egg Nogg.

Take ½ pint of brandy (or Jamaica Rum).

Beat the yolks of the eggs and the sugar together to a cream ; add the nutmeg, well mixed in; then add the brandy (or rum) and the wine.
