All Crustas are made in the same way but take their name after the base liquor as Gin, Rum, Whisky or the like.

\% ounces gin. 1 teaspoon powdered sugar. 1 dash Angostura bitters. 2 tablespoons of lemon juice.

A little maraschino cherry juice (if available). Shake well with ice, and pre pare a wine or "old fashioned" glass as follows: Wet the edge of the glass with lemon juice and dip the edge in powdered sugar. The inside of the glass is then lined with a curled lemon peel, and the drink mixture is poured into this prepared glass and served. (This appears to be a lot of work, but the drink is well worth the trouble.) 26
