  1. Dissolve the sugar in the boiling water and add a little thin lemon-peel.
  2. When cool, add the dry sherry and bottle of Chablis, and cool with the lump of ice.

Ice: 1-pound lump of ice

This cup shows the still-wine cup genre operating with notable restraint compared with Terrington's grander sparkling formulas.

The sweet citrus base is pre-cooled before the wines enter, preserving the Chablis's delicacy.
