GIN AND WORMWOOD. (Use a small bar glass.) Take six to eight sprigs of wormwood, put these in a quart bottle and fill up with Holland gin; leave this stand for a few days, until the essence of the wormwood is extracted into the gin. In handing out this, pour a little of the above into a small whiskey glass and hand it with the bottle of gin to the cus- tomer to help himself . This drink is popular in the eastern part of the country, where the wormwood is used as a substitute for bitters. SHERRY WINE EGG NOGG. (Use a large bar glass.) 1 fresh egg; \ tablespoonful of sugar; Fill up the glass with fine ice; 1 pony glass of brandy (Martell); 1 wine glass of sherry wine; Shake the above ingredients well, until they are thoroughly mixed together; strain it into a fancy wine glass, large enough to hold the mixture; grate a little nutmeg on top and serve.
