COFFEE EGGNOG
Follow recipe for plain eggnog, substituting 2 tablespoonfuls of
strong coffee for the rum.
PANOPEPTON OR LIQUID PEPTONOID EGGNOG
_233-257 calories_
Is made as directed for plain eggnog, panopepton being substituted for
the rum, using 1 ounce instead of 1 tablespoonful. This will probably
more than fill a glass, but the whole amount must be made to keep the
proportions correct. The whisky may be left in, if desired, or sherry
wine may be substituted in its place to give flavor and additional
stimulation.

sugar and whisky or wine and add to the mixture. Beat egg white stiff
and stir into the rest of the ingredients. Pour into shaker and shake
with cracked ice until thoroughly chilled. The cream may be served on
top, or beaten into the eggnog.

Beat white until stiff and dry. Turn the yolk over the beaten white
and cut and fold the white into the yolk mixture.
