Make a good New York lemonade by using one lemon to a tumbler. Add sugar enough to make it of the sweetness your taste wishes — it gains by being on the side of sour, that is, in wanting a little in sweetness, and then break into the tumbler an absolutely fresh egg. Fili the gla88 nearly full of Yichy, or ApoUinaris, or of pure cold water^ and shake vigorously, having capped the tumbler with a metal shaker. When the egg ÌB well lost in the liquid, it is ready to drink oold. Bgg Noff • Put a little shaved ice in a large glaas and add one egg, half a wine-glass of brandy, half a wine-glass of Santa Cruz rum, and a large teaspoonful of powdered sugar. Fili the glaas with rich milk and shake it until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Strain into another glass, grate a little nutmeg on the top, and serve. This may be made by using a wine-glass of either of the above liquors instead of both combined. Bgff Wine Break a nice fresh egg into a tumbler and beat it until it is smooth and thiok. Add a tablespoon of pulverized sugar and stir in a glass of the best Port wine. This is very strengthening for an invalid to take about the hour of noon, if the physician permits it. When wine is not allowed, a glass of new milk may be used instead.
