Cooling Cups and Dainty Drinks by William Terrington (1869, p.179) — Terrington 1869
| 1 bottle | sauterne | base |
| 1 bottle | Seltzer water — German seltzer water | dilution |
| 1 slice | Cucumber | garnish |
| 1 tablespoonful | sugar — pounded sugar | sweetener |
- Combine the Sauterne, German seltzer water, cucumber, and pounded sugar and serve.
Garnish: Slice of cucumber.
Its simplicity makes it a good lower-ceremony counterweight to the richer Sauterne variants.
The recipe relies on clean wine-and-seltzer refreshment with only slight cucumber cooling.
