"A Crusta is a particular little breed of drink which seems to require two things to make it legitimate: a frosted wine glass and the entire peel of a lemon or orange fitted into the glass."
[edit] Historical Recipes
[edit] Jerry Thomas (1862)
- Take 3 or 4 dashes of gum syrup (Sugar Syrup)
- 1 dash of Boker's bitters.
- 1 wine-glass of Brandy (Cognac)
- 2 dashes of Curacoa. (Curacao)
- 1 dash Lemon Juice.
Before mixing the above ingredients, prepare a cocktail glass as follows: Rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the glass, and dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon the same as you would an apple (all in one piece) so that the paring will fit in the wine-glass, as shown in the cut. Put the above ingredients into a small whiskey glass filled one-third full of shaved ice, shake up well and strain the liquid into the cocktail glass prepared as above directed.
[edit] "The Savoy Cocktail Book," by Harry Craddock (1930)
"Use small wine glass. Moisten the edge with lemon and dip edge into castor sugar to frost the glass. Cut the rind of half a lemon spiral fashion; place in glass. Fill glass with cracked ice.
- 3 dashes Marschino.
- 1 dash Angostura bitters.
- 4 dashes Lemon juice.
- 1/4 Curacao.
