POUSSE L'AMOUR.

the "pousse caf6," and also has to be carefully made;
mix as follows:
^ sherry-glass of maraschino; drop in
1 yolk of a fresh egg;
\ glass of vanilla (green);
i glass of cognac (Martell).
Proper attention must be paid that the yolk of the
egg is fresh and cold, and that it does not run into
the liquor, in order'to have it in its natural form (see
illustration, plate No. 6).
