No caution need be used to prevent the ingredi– ents from mixing as in a pousse cafe; and the yolk of the egg must not be placed in the glass after any liqueur, as it should lay on the bottom. After these prep– arations have been completed, beat the white of the egg which you have in the bowl or mixing-glass until it becomes stiff, sweeten to taste with bar sugar and with a teaspoon place a heavy layer over the decoction which you have just pre– pared. Dash with Angostura bitters, sprinkle with a little ground cinnamon and serve,

DIRECI'IONS FOR TAKING. This celebrated Teutonic decoction is little known in America, and few bar– tenders have ever acquired the art of compoundin6 one. It is an after-dinner drink, and, in order to be fully appreciated, it must be partaken of according to the following directions. Should the drinker not abide by these rules, the de– sired effect of the beverage will not be experienced. Therefore, the duty of the presiding mixologist is to thoroughly explain to the uninitiated the rrwdu,s operandi, etc. 1. Pass the glass under the nose and inhale the flavor for about five sec– onds. 2. Hold the glass perpendicularly, open your mouth wide and suck the froth from off the top of the glass. Pause five seconds. 3. Point the lips and take one-third of the liquid contents of the glass without touching the yolk. Pause again for a few seconds. 4. Straighten the body, throw the head back, swallow the contents re– maining in the glass and break the yolk in your mouth at the same time.
