Modern American Drinks by George J. Kappeler (1895, p.105) — George J. Kappeler 1895
| 1 pony | brandy — brandy or fine whiskey | base |
| ginger ale — imported ginger ale | dilution | |
| 1 whole | egg — fresh egg | other |
| 0.5 tablespoon | sugar — fine sugar | sweetener |
- Put the spirit, sugar, and fresh egg into a large mixing glass half-full of fine ice.
- Shake well, strain into a long thin punch glass, fill up with cold imported ginger ale, stir, and serve.
- Nose
- Ginger rises above a softly creamy spirit-and-egg base.
- Palate
- This is an interesting bridge between nogg, fizz, and highball logic, using egg texture but finishing as a ginger-ale long drink.
- Finish
- The finish is lively, softly creamy, and spicy.
- Summary
- An egg-and-ginger-ale hybrid that sits on the border between restorative and sparkling long drink.
