Corpse Reviver
is the same sort of drink, with some difference in the ingredients.
A spiral glass, filled with one-third maraschino, one-third brandy, and one-third curaçoa.
If the corpse came my way and I loved it, I should leave out the maraschino. In
Golden Slipper
the egg-yolk reappears.
Place the yolk of an egg in a spiral wine-glass, half full of yellow chartreuse. Fill up with Dantzicer goldwasser, and do not let the ingredients mix. This goldwasser is said to be the oldest liqueur known in Europe, having been introduced {161} into France by the Italians in the time of Catharine de Medici. Its origin is undoubtedly Italian, and the colourless liquor made in Dantzic, with the fragments of gold leaf floating therein, is a fiery imitation of the real thing.
One more short recipe to finish this chapter.
Heap of Comfort.
Put into a small tumbler the yolk of one egg, two-thirds of a wine-glass of sherry, one-third of a wine-glass of brandy, ten drops of curaçoa, and a teaspoonful of sugar. Add pounded ice, shake well, and strain into a coloured claret-glass. Dust over with nutmeg.
