(Use a hot water glass.)
Ingredient: brandy
What it is: BrandyBrandy (from brandywine, derived from Dutch brandewijn—"burnt wine") is a spirit produced by distilling wine, the wine having first been produced by fermenting grapes. Brandy generally contains 35%–60% alcohol by volume and is typically taken as an after-dinner drink. While some brandies are aged in wooden casks, most are colored with caramel coloring to imitate the effect of such aging.
Fill the glass with hot water; stir up well with a spoon, and hand this to the customer, place pepper, salt and celery salt handy, and if the customer should require it, put in a small quantity of Sherry wine or Brandy.
