  1. Build the egg, seasoning, and lemon juice or vinegar in a whiskey glass.
  2. Serve immediately.
Nose
Sharp seasoning and egg meet immediately on the nose.
Palate
This is important to keep because it documents the raw-egg restorative tradition directly rather than only via later hangover-drink mythology.
Finish
The finish is savory, acidic, and abrupt.
Summary
A plain restorative prairie-oyster style drink from the medicinal service branch.
