The Epicure's Almanac or Diary of Good Living
September 22nd : RUMFUSTIAN
This is the singular name bestowed upon a drink very much in vogue with Oxford men, after their return from a day's shooting over a heavy country, and is concocted thus:
The yolks of a dozen eggs are well whisked up, put into a quart of strong beer; to this is added a pint of gin; a bottle of sherry is put into a saucepan, with a stick of cinnamon, a nutmeg grated, a dozen large lumps of sugar, and the rind of a lemon peeled very thin; when the wine boils, it is poured upon the gin and beer, and the whole drunk hot.
