BRANDY CRUSTA.

Use small tumbler.

Crusta is made the same way as a Fancy Cocktail, with a little lemon juice and a small lump of ice added. First mix the ingre-- dients in a small tumbler, then take a fancy red wine glass, put a sliced lemon round the rim of the glass, and dip it in powdered white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass; pare half a lemon, the same as you would an apple (all in one piece), so that the paring will fit into the wine glass, and strain the Crusta from the tumbler into it.
