Take 3 or 4 dashes of gum syrup.

1 dash of Boker’s bitters.

1 wine-glass of brandy.

2 dashes of Curacoa.

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.

 

The whiskey crusta is made in the same manner as the brandy crusta, using whiskey instead of brandy.
