EQUIPMENT:

  • Mixing glass
  • Strainer

  • 90ml (3 oz) dark rum
  • 165ml (5 1/2 oz) fresh milk
  • Yolk of one egg

EQUIPMENT:

  • Shaker
  • Strainer
  • Stirring spoon
  • Highball glass

Fill the shaker with ice and add the brandy, rum, egg yolk, and sugar syrup. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. Pour in the cold milk and stir. Garnish with a light dusting of nutmeg.

  • 30ml (1 oz) brandy

EQUIPMENT:

  • Mixing glass
  • Stirring spoon
  • Strainer
