| 1 drink | sherry — sherry wine | modifier |
| 1 whole | egg — fresh egg | other |
| 1 glass | ice — fine ice | other |

This is exactly the sort of working-bar restorative the ontology should preserve. It keeps the bracer line tied to egg, milk, sherry, and absinthe rather than separating those families artificially.
