Hello, I'm Chef Wood. Ask me anything about this recipe, whenever you like. Press play, or say “next”, and I'll read you the steps one at a time.
Chef Wood answers only when you ask, so take all the time you need. His answers come from AI and are general cooking guidance.
- Thirty drops of gum syrup, ten drops of Angostura, one wine-glass of gin, ten drops of cura^oa.
- Mix, etc., and add peel.
- A “ Swizzle ,” which is well known in fashionable circles as a morning “ livelier,” somewhat resembles the above concoction, but is even more seductive and enthralling.
- When I gave the recipe for this in Cakes and Ale , it brought down upon my devoted head the horror and indignation of many of the good young critics of the superior dailies.
- Yet the swallow is harmless enough, absolutely innocuous — save to the melancholy vapours.
- And to shew my utter lack of appreciation of friendly warnings I append the same recipe in all its original beauty : — Crushed ice (this is a welcome addition), a wineglassful of Hollands, a liqueur-glassful of curaqoa, three drops of Angostura, a little sugar, and half a small bottle of Seltzer water.
- Churn up the mixture with a swizzle-stick, which can be easily made with the assistance of a short length of cane (the ordinary school-treat brand), a piece of cork, a bit of string, and a pocket-knife.
