1 oz/30 ml Brandy

1 Egg

2 oz/60 ml Ruby Port

1 barspoon of fine Sugar

Shake all ingredients hard with plenty of ice and strain into a classic style cocktail glass or small wine glass.

Grate some fresh Nutmeg over the surface of the drink and serve.

Note on Sugar:

I prefer to use a 2:1 sugar syrup instead of fine sugar in this drink. Sugar syrup is more readily absorbed into the drink.
