Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks by William Terrington (1869, p.185) — Terrington 1869
| 1 wine-glass | gin and bitters — gin-and-bitters | base |
| ginger — Grated. | base | |
| 1 pint | ale — good ale | other |
- Grate some ginger into a quart pot.
- Add the wine-glass of gin-and-bitters and then the heated ale.
- Drink while the mixture is frothing.
This compact named ale cup shows how even brisk mixed-beer serves could still be framed as cups in Terrington.
Its identity depends on immediacy and foam retention rather than maceration or standing time.
