Coffee Cocktail

The name of this drink is a misnomer, as coffee and bitters are not to be found among its ingredients, but it looks like coffee when it has been properly concocted, and hence probably its name.

Ingredients

 * Take 1 tea-spoonful powdered white sugar
 * 1 fresh egg
 * 1 large wine-glass of port wine.
 * 1 pony of brandy
 * 2 or 3 lumps of ice

Directions
1.Break the egg into the glass, put in the sugar, and lastly the port wine, brandy and ice.

2.Shake up very thoroughly, and strain into a medium bar goblet. Grate a little nutmeg on top before serving.
