Method

  1. This is, I am assured, a much-admired restorative in Brazil, and the regions bordering on the River Plate.
  2. It does not sound exactly the sort of stimulant to take after a "bump supper," or a "Kaffir" entertainment, but here it is: Into a wine-glass half full of curaçoa pop the unbroken yolk of a bantam's egg.
