Tb HE crusta is an improvement on the cocktail, and is said to have been invented by Santina,a celebrated Spanish caterer.

BRANDY CRUSTA

Use small bar glass

Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lernon juice and a small lump of ice added. First, mix the ingredients in a small tumbler, then take a fancy red wine glass, rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the same, and dip it in pulverized 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 in the wineglass,and strain the crusta from the tumbler into it.Then smile.
