Famous New Orleans Drinks and How to Mix 'Em by Stanley Clisby Arthur (1938, p.67)

2 dashabsinthe substitute — Absinthe substitutebase
1 jiggerrum — Rumbase
1 tspsugar — Sugarbase
2 dashcuracao — Curacaomodifier
1 wholeegg yolk — Egg yolkother
  1. Put the absinthe substitute and curacao on the sugar in a bar glass and muddle.
  2. Add the rum and egg yolk, shake hard with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail glass, and serve.

Arthur knowingly anachronizes the absinthe element while invoking Jean Laffite's New Orleans legend.
