| brandy — French brandy | base | |
| 0.66 wine-glass | port wine | base |
| 5 dash | Jamaica ginger | other |
| nutmeg — nutmeg | other |

- Nose
- Brandy, fortified wine, ginger, and nutmeg all announce themselves immediately.
- Palate
- The title is half the point: Lowe is preserving a drink named for its presumed effect as much as its flavour, which helps keep the medicinal side of mixed-drink culture visible.
- Finish
- The finish is warm, spiced, and fortified.
- Summary
- A medicinally framed fortified-spirit mixture from the curative barroom branch.
