COUPEREE

Name: COUPEREE
Ingredients: 1/2 cup Vanilla ice cream (Originally 'Fill large Bar glass 1/3 full Ice Cream'. Quantity estimated for a standard glass.); 1 1/8 ounces Brandy (Originally '3/4 jigger'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 fl oz).); 1 ounce Red Curaçao (Originally '1 pony Red Curacoa'. Converted to modern measurement (1 pony = 1 fl oz).); 4 ounces Club soda (Originally 'Plain Soda'. Quantity estimated to fill the glass.); 1 pinch Nutmeg (Freshly grated, for garnish.)

This indulgent vintage cocktail from 1917 blends the creamy richness of vanilla ice cream with the warming depth of brandy and the vibrant citrus sweetness of Red Curaçao. Served as a sophisticated adult float, the mixture is lightened with effervescent club soda to create a frothy, refreshing texture that delights the palate. A dusting of freshly grated nutmeg adds an aromatic finishing touch, making this 'Couperee' a perfect dessert drink or afternoon treat.
