Method
- will serve, here.
- Beat well together in a jug, four eggs with a quarter of a pound of sifted sugar;
- then add by degrees, stirring all the time, two quarts of old Burton ale, and half a pint of gin;
- pour backwards and forwards from one jug to another, and when well frothed serve in tumblers.
- Grate a little nutmeg atop of each portion.
- This is one of the best “nightcaps” I know—especially after you may have been badger-hunting, or burgling, or serenading anybody on Christmas Eve.
