1545 | After-Dinner Cordial à la Tocci.
—Have a clean well-polished cordial-glass. Place at the bottom of the glass one teaspoonful of red curaçoa, then fill a teaspoon with yellow chartreuse; take the cordial-glass in your left hand; slightly incline it toward the right, then gently and carefully put the spoon into the glass as far down as to allow the point of the spoon to just touch the surface of the red curaçoa, and then gradually pour it over the curaçoa, slowly withdrawing the spoon till empty. Fill the spoon with brandy, and gradually pour it over the yellow chartreuse, and carefully serve it without shaking.
