Developed in the 1850s by Joseph Santini in New Orleans, the Brandy Crusta is a groundbreaking evolution of the cocktail. But what makes it so special?
60 ml Pierre Ferrand 1840 cognac 10 ml lemon juice 5 ml sugar syrup (2:1) 5 ml Pierre Ferrand dry curaçao 2 dashes Orinoco bitters Lemon zest and sugar for garnish
Preparation: Shaken. For the garnish, moisten the outer rim of the glass with the pulp of a lemon. Dip the wet rim of the glass into a bowl of sugar to create a sugar rim. Peel a wide zest from a lemon that is the same length as the circumference of the guest glass. Insert the zest into the glass and place it around the rim once.
Alternatively and currently preferred by us:
60 ml Delord Hors d’Age armagnac 10 ml lemon juice 5 ml sugar syrup (2:1) 5 ml Hiebl Bitterorangengeist 2 dashes Orinoco Bitters 2,5 ml water * (lemon zest und sugar)
Laid: Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass without ice; then carefully add three ice cubes and leave to cool motionless for 2 minutes. * The water opens up the flavours.
The Crusta, and thus also the Brandy Crusta, was invented by Joseph Santini from New Orleans in the 1850s. [3][4] In his book “How to Mix Drinks”, first published in 1862, Jerry Thomas also publishes a gin crusta and a whiskey crusta in addition to the brandy crusta, but usually people drank and still drink a brandy crusta. [4] Where exactly Joseph Santini devised this drink, we do not know. It will have been either in his “Jewel of the South” or in the “St. Louis Exchange Hotel”, where Joseph Santini also worked. [3][4]
His drink was initially only known locally in New Orleans, but that changed with Jerry Thomas. The latter either met Joseph Santini personally or at least got to know his drinks when he visited New Orleans in the 1850s and owned a bar there. He adopted the recipe and published it in his book, giving credit to the inventor. [1][2][3][4][6]This fact can be considered something rare. At that time, recipes were usually copied without indicating where they came from and who had invented them. Jerry Thomas states who created 29 of the 239 recipes he published. Of these 29 recipes, only five came from another American bartender, namely a person Jerry Thomas refers to as “Santina”, stating that he was “a celebrated Spanish caterer” and “proprietor of Santina’s Saloon, a celebrate Spanish Café, in New Orleans”. Jerry Thomas’ information is inaccurate, however, because his “Santina” was actually Joseph Santini, who was not Spanish, and his café was not Spanish. [2][4]
Jerry Thomas printed two more drinks by Joseph Santini, a Punch and a Pousse Café, but these two are of little importance in historical retrospect. His Crustas, on the other hand, are far more important. Jerry Thomas makes them with brandy, whiskey or gin. The Crustas are Joseph Santini’s variation on the cocktails of the time, and are, as David Wondrich writes, “among the most sophisticated drinks known to the bartender’s art“. [2] Joseph Santini’s variation is not actually a big one, but it packs a punch. He simply added a few squirts of lemon juice to a normal cocktail made “fancy” by the addition of liqueur, but not so much as to make the drink a sour, and gave it a “fancy” garnish of lemon zest and sugar crystals. [1][2]The liqueur adds depth to the cocktail, and the lemon juice makes it shine. [2] It is important to use only a little lemon juice, because it is only meant to accentuate. [4] We want to agree with this statement. On a trial basis, we first added as much sugar as was necessary to achieve a balanced sweet-sour ratio with 10 ml of lemon juice, as one should normally do. This makes the Brandy Crusta balanced – but it also lacks sparkle. With a little less sugar syrup, on the other hand, there is a slight imbalance that makes it more interesting, a little more acidic. This reminds us of the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. In a TV documentary it was reported that the medieval rules of the stonemasons had been followed and consequently no perfect 90° angles were built. Unconsciously, one notices the difference. The reduced perfection makes the building look more organic and beautiful than it would with perfect angles. It is the same with the Brandy Crusta: with a slight imbalance it becomes more ‘correct’. Only in this way does it get the ‘sparkle’ it should have.
Through this addition of lemon juice, the Brandy Crusta builds a bridge to the punch, and David Wondrich says that one could therefore definitely also call it a kind of punch. [4]
The Brandy Crusta is the first cocktail to which lemon juice was added. [4] It was certainly not immediately successful, but it had its aficionados, and gradually lemon juice was added to cocktails more and more often, until finally, in the 1890s, it was no longer unusual. [4]
The ingredients
If you look at the recipes, there is a lot of confusion, there are many different ingredients, and it is difficult to discover any consistency here. But the statistics are helpful, because they show how a Brandy Crusta has been interpreted. First of all, Jerry Thomas says that the Brandy Crusta is a further development of the cocktail, and we can deduce that – apart from the Crusta rim – it is actually a fancy cocktail with a little lemon juice. Is this reflected in the recipes?
Brandy Crusta – Use of bitters and citrus.
In the first diagram we show – with the exception of the sugar source – whether the ingredients that make a cocktail a cocktail have also been used throughout. Here we look at the use of bitters and citrus. Here we see that, with few exceptions, a Brandy Crusta contains bitters and lemon juice. So the recipes that do not have this we can classify as a degenerated Brandy Crusta.
Brandy Crusta – Sugar sources.
In the second diagram, we look at the sugar sources. As a rule, these are sugar syrup, which is usually used together with maraschino, curacao or a combination of maraschino and curacao. In addition, there are twelve other ingredients which we have grouped together under the heading “Other”. They are each mentioned less than 10 times in recipes and can therefore be ignored in our consideration. These ingredients are absinthe, pineapple syrup, apricot brandy, Bénédictine, Eau D’Or, strawberry syrup, Goldwasser, grenadine, raspberry syrup (or juice), cherry liqueur, orchard syrup, orgeat and vermouth.
Orchard syrup, according to the Oxford Companion, is a fruit syrup made by boiling down fruit juice, sometimes with the addition of sugar. The main ingredient used is a mixture of apple and pear juice. [7-518]
We can see that, all in all, many ingredients have been used. But that is not a bad thing, because this diversity is very much rooted in the definition of brandy crusta. Jerry Thomas gives us a recipe in 1862, but only indirectly. He writes: „Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lemon juice and a small lump of ice added.“ Depending on what you mean by a fancy cocktail, the recipe of the crusta also changes. If we take a cocktail as a basis, a Brandy Crusta must contain the basic spirit (brandy), sugar and bitters. The water comes from the ice. This cocktail becomes fancy by adding an additional flavouring (such as the classic additions of absinthe, curaçao or maraschino). Jerry Thomas opted for curaçao. A little lemon juice and the typical crusta garnish of sugar and lemon zest turn this drink into a crusta.
Brandy Crusta. Jerry Thomas, 1862 The Bartender’s Guide, page 52.
Against this background, if we look at the historical recipes and the ingredients used, we see that most follow this definition, although exceptions are possible. But most use bitters, lemon juice, sugar syrup, curaçao and/or maraschino.
The first recipes up to 1881 still use curaçao – as suggested by Jerry Thomas – and we follow him in our recipe. We assume that Joseph Santini may also have used Curaçao, because Jerry Thomas names him as the originator of the recipe he gave. From 1882 onwards, curaçao is only rarely used and maraschino becomes the preferred ingredient. Modern interpretations again increasingly give preference to curaçao.
We do not want to go further into the recipes, but only to state once again that we have been given a recipe by Jerry Thomas, which probably comes closest to that of Joseph Santini. However, the definition of a Crusta is so broad that anyone can turn another fancy cocktail into a Crusta according to their own taste. The recipes that have been handed down are very creative.
Brandy Crusta, Harry Johnson 1888, page 48f.
But there seems to be another view of what a crusta is. According to this view, a drink becomes a crusta through the crusta-typical garnish: lemon zest and sugar rim. The drink does not have to be a fancy cocktail. Whether you still want to call it a crusta is up to you. For us, it is no longer a crusta, because it stretches the original definition too far. They are autonomous drinks. This confusion has been around from the beginning, and William Terrington described a crusta in 1869 as a spirit to which you add ice and sugar and garnish it with a large lemon zest. Now this is really no longer a crusta, because he doesn’t even mention the typical sugar rim; rather, he adds the sugar to the spirit.
We have read that the Brandy Crusta is the ancestor of the sidecar. [1][3][4] However, if you look at the recipe of a sidecar, you quickly realise that this statement cannot be true. A Sidecar consists of cognac, Triple Sec and lemon juice. It is no longer a variation on a cocktail, because the bitters are missing. Rather, we see in the sidecar a variation of the sours. If you take a Cognac Sour made of Cognac, sugar and lemon juice as a base and make it “fancy” by changing the sugar source, you get a Sidecar.

These drinks are served in green or red hock glasses, and next to the julep, they are the prettiest (from an artistic point of view) drinks sold at the bar. You first mix your ingredients in a small tumbler, or rummer — and when they are quite ready, you stand the glass in ice, whilst you pare a lemon, and chat to the customer. You cut it precisely the same way as you would an apple, round and round in one piece, with as little of the white pith as possible. Measure round the glass with the lemon, and cut off sufficient to line the inside. The whole glass is not lined, only a rim of lemon placed inside. Having measured the glass lay the lemon on one side. Rub the edges of the glass, inside and out with a cut lemon. Dip it in pearl sugar, and it looks like fine hoar frost on the red or green glass. Now put in the lemon rind, fixing it so that the drinker will have no trouble, i. e, lower at the side where the lemon rind joins — so that the liquid will come clearly from the glass into the mouth. A VERY good mixture for a Crusta Is as follows : — Eau D’Or, 1 Small Glass. Calysaine Bitters, 1/2 Teaspoonful. Brandy, 1 Liqueur Glass. Shaved Ice. Mix these together in a small bar tumbler; stand on the ice till your crusta glass is fixed and draped; then strain into it from the tumbler.

The cocktail is a comparatively modern discovery. In this drink Bogart’s Bitters occupies invariably a prominent place. The Crusta is an improvement on the cocktail, and is said to have been invented by Santlna, a celebrated Spanish caterer. Its differentia is a small quantity of lemon juice and a little lump of ice. The sparing of a lemon must also line the glass, from which feature it probably derives its name.

On trempe les bords du verre ainsi humectés dans du sucre en poudre, qui s’y attache en donnant au bord du verre un aspect cristallisé. On décore ensuite la paroi intérieure du verre avec un zeste de citron, découpé en lanières d’une longueur suffisante pour entourer l’intérieur du verre. On garnit le fond avec deux cerises. D’autre part, on met dans le shaker 2 cuillerées de glace pilée, puis les liqueurs appropriées; on remue fortement le shaker, dont on verse le contenu dans le verre préalablement disposé.

THE COCKTAIL AND CRUSTA For dry cocktail do not use syrup or sugar. “The Cocktail” is a modern invention, and is generally used on fishing and other sporting parties, although some patients insist that it good in the morning as a tonic. The “Crusta” is an improvement on the “Cocktail,” and is said to have been invented by Santina, a celebrated Spanish caterer.

1934 A. T. Neirath: Rund um die Bar. Seite 88. Crustas.
Das Eigentümliche bei diesem Getränk ist die besondere Vorbereitung des Glases. — Man wählt eine Zitrone, die in ein Weinglas hineinpaßt, so daß sie vom Glasrand fest gehalten wird, schneidet das aus dem Glase herausragende Stück ca. 1/2 Centimeter über dem Glasrand ab und hernach ein ebensogroßes Stück am anderen Ende der Zitrone. Von dem auf diese Weise erhaltenen Mittelstück entfernt man das Zitronenfleisch, und zwar derart, daß die Schale dabei ganz bleibt (eine Röhre bildet). Diese Röhre steckt man dann in das Glas und stülpt dieses samt der Röhre in feinen Zucker, wodurch sich eine Kruste bildet, nach der das Ge- tränk auch seinen Namen erhalten hat. Will man die Kruste färben, dann taucht man den Rand zuerst in ein wenig auf einen Teller gegossenen roten, grünen oder anders- farbigen Likör und danach in feinen Zucker. Einfluß auf das Getränk hat diese Präparierung des Glases nur in fachlich als ungünstig zu bezeichnendem Sinne, denn erstens wird durch das ins Getränk hineinragende große Stück Zi- tronenschale ein übermäßig starker Zitronenöl-Geschmack übertragen und zweitens verursacht der Zuckerrand eine Klebrigkeit, die sich beim Trinken unangenehm bemerk- bar macht. Das Aussehen solcher Crustas ist zwar eigen- artig und gefällig, aber einen logischen Sinn kann man diesen Getränken nicht zusprechen.
1934 A. T. Neirath: Rund um die Bar. Seite 260. Crustas.
Wie schon im Teil I des Lehrbuches (Seite 113) angegeben wird, leitet dieses Getränk seinen Namen von dem dazu verwendeten eigenartig präparierten Glase ab. Die alko- holische Basis der Crustas ist entweder Gin, Whisky, Brandy oder Rum und — je nach der Verwendung einer dieser Spirituosen — wird das Getränk als Gin-Crusta, Whisky- Crusta, Brandy-Crusta oder Rum-Crusta bezeichnet.

Seite 33: Rum Crusta.
The crusta is so-called because before the drink is mixed, the rim of a cocktail glass is moistened with whatever liquor is to be used and then turned upside down to be dipped into powdered sugar, which forms a crust on the rim of the glass very pleasant to look at and equally pleasant when placing lips to glass after drink is mixed. To make a Rum Crusta, therefore, moisten the rim of glass with rum and dip rim into powdered sugar. Now, pour into a shaker two ounces of (any) rum, a quarter teaspoon of “gum,” a dash of Angostura Bitters, a dash of lemon juice and a dash of Curacao, two tablespoons of finely cracked ice, and the thinly peeled yellow rind of a half lemon. Shake thoroughly until shaker begins to frost. Strain carefully into the cocktail glass, being careful not to wash off the sugar crust from rim of glass. You’ll be dehghted with this drink, really only a “stiff” cocktail under an alias.

The Crustas are gener- ally made with Gin, Whisky, Brandy or Rum, and are there- fore called accordingly, that is to say, when Gin is used as the base liquor, it is called a Gin Crusta. Always remember that the Crusta glass — a small wineglass — should be prepared before the mixture in the follow ing way: — Moisten the edges with Lemon and dip the glass in pulverised Sugar. Cut the ends of a clean Lemon, peel the rest like an Apple, and put this Peel in the wineglass so that it lines the whole inside of the glass.

Der Name dieser Getränkeart wird von „Rinde, Kruste” abgeleitet und dies aus dem Grunde, weil die Rinde oder Schale einer Zitrone, Orange oder Mandarine, mit einer Zuckerkruste versehen, das charakteristische Merkmal dieser Getränkeart bildet. Die Herstellung dieser Kruste ist für alle Mi- schungen die gleiche und wird auf folgende Art gemacht. Von einer Zitrone bzw. Orange oder Mandarine wird eine Scheibe von 2 cm Stärke aus der Mitte ausgeschnitten. Dieses Zitronenrädchen wird auf den Tisch gelegt, worauf man mit einem spitzen scharfen Messer einen runden Schnitt ausführt, so daß die Zitronenschale einen Ring bildet. Von diesem Ring wird das Weiße möglichst sauber entfernt. Das ausgehobene Zitronenfleisch wird ausgedrückt und nun der Schalenring an einer Seite in den Saft getaucht. Der so angefeuchtete Ring wird an der nassen Seite in Puderzucker getaucht, welcher als- bald eine Kruste bildet. Der so behandelte Ring wird nun auf ein Glas so gesetzt, daß der Zucker obenauf zu stehen kommt. Bei der Wahl der Zitrone muß man achten, daß die Größe derselben mit dem Glasumfang überein- stimmt, da der Krustenring am Glasrand etwas über diesen ragen soll. Die zu den Crustas nötigen Gläser sind Dessertwein- oder Rotweingläser.

Généralement, les crustas se font au gin, whisky, rhum, fine ou bacardi et s’appellent ainsi successivement: gin crusta, etc. Toujours se rappeler que le crusta se prépare dans un verre à vin (12 centilitres) et préparer le verre en frottant les bords de jus de citron et en trempant le verre dans du sucre en poudre. Ensuite couper les bouts d’un citron, le peler comme une pomme et mettre la pelure entière dans le verre qu’elle couvrira en entier. Au shaker: 3 traits de sirop de gomme. 3 traits de marasquin. 2 traits d’angostura bitter. Le jus d’un quart de citron et un verre à cocktail de gin ou… Frapper.

All crustas are made in the same way. They are pre- pared in the shaker, half filled with broken ice, strained into the crusta glass, and decorated with slices of fruit in season. The crusta glass is about the same size as a small wine-glass, and it has to be specially prepared before- hand. Instructions for this preparation are as follows. First moisten the inside edges of the glass with lemon juice, and dust with castor sugar to obtain a frosted effect. Now take a clean lemon, cut off the ends, and peel the rest spiral fashion. Place this peel in the crusta glass as a lining.

1948 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 224. Crustas.
The distinguishing feature of the Crusta is that the entire inside of the glass is lined with lemon or orange peel. The drink may be served in either a wineglass or an Old-Fashioned glass, although it is much harder to make the peel fit in the Old-Fash- ioned glass. Take a large lemon or a small orange of a size ap- proximating that of the glass to be used. Cut off both ends and peel the remainder in spiral fashion so as to keep the peel all in one piece. Line the inside of the glass with this peel, wet the edge of the glass, and dip in powdered sugar to frost the edge of both peel and glass. In a bar glass mix 1 part sugar syrup, 2 parts lemon juice, and 8 parts brandy with 1 or 2 dashes each of maraschino and bitters to each drink. Shake with finely crushed ice and strain into the prepared glass. While the BRANDY CRUSTA is the most common form of this drink, it is, after all, merely a Sour-type drink served in fancy style. Substitution of a different liquor as a base will give you a GIN CRUSTA, a RUM CRUSTA, an APPLEJACK CRUSTA, a WHISKY CRUSTA, and so on.

Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lemon juice, and a small lump of ice added. First mix the ingredients in a small tumbler, then take a fancy red wineglass, rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the same, and dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon, the same as you would an apple (all in one piece), so that the paring will fit in the wineglass, asshown in the cut. Strain the crusta from the tumbler into it, then smile.

A Crusta is a particular little breed of drink which seems to require two things to make it legitimate: a frosted wineglass and the entire peeling of a lemon or orange fitted right into the glass. The rest of it’s standard — liquor, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, a dash of bitters or some other flavoring, all handled like a cocktail and poured into lemon or orange peel- ing.

1949 Harry Schraemli: Das grosse Lehrbuch der Bar. Seite 262. Die Crustas.
Die «Crustas» sind lecker aussehende und ebenso schmeckende «Long-drinks». Dass sie nicht überall popu- lär sind, ist der Umständlichkeit ihrer Zubereitung zuzu- schreiben. «Crustas» sind wegen ihrer alkoholischen Stärke eigentliche Herrengetränke. Empfehlen kann man sie abends nach dem Essen. Grundrezept: Man nehme ein mittelgrosses Weinglas mit Stiel, fahre über dessen Rand mit einem Stückchen Zitrone, so dass der Rand angefeuchtet wird und tupfe dann das Glas sachte in Grieszucker. Der Grieszucker wird sich nun dort, wo der Rand feucht ist, anhef- ten, und es sieht nun aus als ob der Rand des Glases mit einer fei- nen Kruste Eis über zogen wäre. Hierauf schäle man eine Zitrone und zwar so, dass die Schale ein Band bildet und gebe sie in das präparierte Glas. Hierauf fülle man den Shaker halbvoll mit feingeschlagenem Roheis und füge hinzu: den Saft von 1/2 Zitrone, 1 Barlöffel Zucker, 2 dashes Angosturabitter, 3 das- hes Maraschino und 1 Glas der gewünschten Sorte Alkohol. Das Ganze wird sehr gut ge- schüttelt und in das hergerich- tete Glas gegossen. Mit Barlöf- fel und Saughalmen servieren. «Crustas» werden aus Co- gnac, Gin, Whisky, Rum, Wein etc. gemacht.

Man befeuchtet den Rand eines Crustaglases (ballon- förmiges Weinglas) mit einem Stückchen Zitrone, tupft das Glas dann in Griesszucker, so dass ein gleichmässiger, etwa 2 Zentimeter breiter Zuk- kerrand entsteht. Dann schält man eine saubere, nicht zu grosse Zitrone, so wie man einen Apfel schält, d. h. dass die ganze Schale an einem Bande bleibt und gibt diese in das präparierte Glas. Hierauf gibt man in den Schüttelbecher 2-3 3igrosse Stücke Eis, den Saft von 1/2 Zitrone, 1 Barlöffel Zucker, 2 dashes Angosturabit- ter, 3 dashes Maraschino und 1 Glas Cognac. Gut schütteln und in das Glas seihen. Mit Barlöffel und Saughalmen servieren.

1949 Wilhelm Stürmer: Cocktails by William. Seite 69. Crustas.
Der Cocktail eroberte auf seinem Siegeszug die ganze Welt. Nicht zuletzt gewann er auch das Herz und den Gaumen Santinas, eines berühmten soanischen Wirtes von New Orleans. Es dünkte ihn barbarisch, die köst- lichen Tropfen des Cocktails leblos hinter einer Glaswand zu sehen. Lange zerbrach er sich den Kopf. Dann hafte er es gefunden. Sanfina ging in den südlichen Garten und pflückte eine Zitrone von der Größe eines Weinglases. Sorfälfig schälte er sie in einem Stück ab und paßte die Schale dem Glase an, so daß sie die ganze Innenfläche bedeckte. Mit einer Zitronenscheibe fuhr er über den Rand des Glases. Als er den so angefeuchteten Rand in Staubzucker tauchte, schimmerte er wie überzogen mit Reif oder Eis, Nun verfuhr er wie mit einem Cocktail. Er seihte die durchgeschüttelte Mischung in das vorbereitete Glas und schmückte seinen so entstandenen Crusta mit verlockenden Früchten. Damit Du, mein Leser, gleich den richtigen Weg gehst, will Ich Dir meine speziellen Crustarezepte verraten.

1952 Charles: The Cocktail Bar. Seite 108. Crustas.
All crustas are made in the same way. They are pre- pared in the shaker, half filled with broken ice, strained into the crusta glass, and decorated with slices of fruit in season. The crusta glass is about the same size as a small wine-glass, and it has to be specially prepared before- hand. Instructions for this preparation are as follows. First moisten the inside edges of the glass with lemon juice, and dust with castor sugar to obtain a frosted effect. Now take a clean lemon, cut off the ends, and peel the rest spiral fashion. Place this peel in the crusta glass as a lining.

(as served at Harry’s Bar, Paris) Take small wine glass, moisten rim with lemon, dip rim of glass into castor sugar. Peel the rind of half a lemon and fit this curl of peel into the contour of your glass. Then in a shaker mix 1 tea- spoon of sugar, 3 dashes of Maras- chino, 3 dashes of bitters, juice of one- quarter of a lemon, 1 glass of brandy. Shake well and pour into a prepared glass.

1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 233. Crustas.
The distinguishing feature of the Crusta is that the entire inside of the glass is lined with lemon or orange peel. The drink may be served in either a wineglass or an Old-Fashioned glass, although it is much harder to make the peel fit in the Old-Fashioned glass. Take a large lemon or a small orange of a size approximating that of the glass to be used. Cut off both ends and peel the remainder in spiral fashion so as to keep the peel all in one piece. Line the inside of the glass with this peel, wet the edge of the glass, and dip in powdered sugar to frost the edge of both peel and glass. In a bar glass mix 1 part sugar syrup, 2 parts lemon juice, and 8 parts brandy with 1 or 2 dashes each of maraschino and bitters to each drink. Shake with finely crushed ice and strain into the prepared glass.
While the BRANDY CRUSTA is the most common form of this drink, it is, after all, merely a Sour-type drink served in fancy style.

Ce beau ”longdrink” jouissant d’ailleurs d’une haute considé- ration tient son nom du fait, que jadis l’écorce de citron, prescrite par toutes les recettes, était complètement garnie d’une croute (crusta) de sucre. Cette opération assez compliquée a été grande- ment simplifiée. Maintenant on agit comme suit : on prend un verre à vin (sur pied) en forme de ballon de moyenne grandeur et on en frotte le bord avec un zeste de citron. Après cela le bord est trempé dans le sucre râpé, qui le ”givre”, là ou l’essence de citron a tenu. Ensuite on prend un citron dont on coupe une pointe, de façon à ce que le fruit ait la hauteur même du verre. On épluche le citron en forme de spirale et l’écorce est mise en spirale dans le verre. Le dernier bout de l’écorce est attaché au bord du verre. Les ingrédients, prescrits dans la recette, sont bien frappés dans le shaker et passés dans le verre préparé. Note pour le mélangeur électrique : qui dispose du gobelet avec batteur spécial pour cocktails peut remuer les ingrédients avec la glace. L e meilleur temps de mélange se trouve entre 10 et 20 sec. Si on se sert du gobelet standard avec les couteaux ordinaires, ne pas mélanger la glace avec les ingrédients, car la glace serait moulue finement et noyerait la boisson. 11 suffit de rafraîchir le gobelet avec de la glace, que l’on évacue, avec l’eau glacée, avant de faire les mélanges. Temps nécessaire pour le mélange : de 10 à 20 sec.

Eine kräftige Verlockung für Zungen, die sich nach einer Erfrischung sehnen. Der leckere Herren=long=drink für die unterhaltsame Zeit nach dem Abendessen, an dem Gaumen und Auge Freude haben. Grundrezept: Ein Weinglas mit Stiel wird an seinem oberen Rand rundherum mit einem Zitronenviertel gut angefeuchtet und schnell, bevor der Saft innen und außen abtropft, in einen Staubzuckerhaufen gestülpt. Es bildet sich dadurch die Crusta, ein wie Rauhreif aussehender Zucker= kristallstreifen am Glasrand. Diese Crustas können auch mit Oran= gen, Grapefruit, Ananas oder Pfirsich präpariert werden. Wieder andere Crustas entstehen, wenn man die Gläser ganz vorsichtig, so daß wirklich nur ihr äußerster Rand berührt wird, in dicken Sirup dippt und dann in Zucker steckt (z. B . in Sirup von eingemachten Zwergorangen, Himbeeren, in Cassis= oder Maplesirup). Am be= kanntesten sind die Zitronencrustas, bei denen man auch noch die ganze Schalenspirale der Zitronen in das Innere des Glases dressiert, bevor man die geschüttelten Mischungen darübergibt.

Dans ce verre on place ensuite l’écorce entière d’un citron moyen. Puis on remplit la moitié du shaker de petits dés de glace et on ajoute ce qui suit: 1/2 jus de citron, 1 cuillère à bar de sucre, 2 dashes d’angosturabitter, 3 dashes de marasquin et 1 verre mesure de whisky ou ce que la recette prescrit. On secoue comme il faut le tout et on le verse dans le verre. Servir avec paille. On prépare les crustas avec du cognac (brandy), whisky, gin, rhum, etc.

Trago de origen norteamericano. Se diferencia del Cobbler por su presentación, y su principal característica es la “coronación”. Su preparación se efectúa dentro de la coctelera, que deberá estar llena hasta la mitad con hielo en trozos chicos; una vez bien mez- clados los distinos componentes colar en vaso para “Crustas” o para trago largo (en algunas excepciones se utilizan vasos más peque- ños o copas de Vino) y decorar con rodajas de frutas de la estación (esto último, algunos barmen – internacionalmente hablando -, prefieren suprimirlo). La “coronación” debe ser preparada de antemano de la siguiente manera: Cortar el extremo de un limón, pasarlo por el borde del vaso (o copa) para que se moje con el jugo, invertir luego y apoyar sobre azúcar cristalizado blanco previamente preparado en un platito. De esta manera todo el borde quedará recubierto de una “corona” blanca de azúcar. Después cortar la cáscara del resto del limón en forma de espiral (debe estar lo más finita posible y sin lo blanco) y colocarla dentro del vaso como revestimiento. Este procedimiento es igual para todos los “Crustas”.

The Crusta, and thus also the Brandy Crusta, was invented by Joseph Santini from New Orleans in the 1850s. [3] [4] In his book “How to Mix Drinks”, first published in 1862, Jerry Thomas also publishes a gin crusta and a whiskey crusta in addition to the brandy crusta, but usually people drank and still drink a brandy crusta. [4] Where exactly Joseph Santini devised this drink, we do not know. It will have been either in his “Jewel of the South” or in the “St. Louis Exchange Hotel”, where Joseph Santini also worked. [3] [4]
His drink was initially only known locally in New Orleans, but that changed with Jerry Thomas. The latter either met Joseph Santini personally or at least got to know his drinks when he visited New Orleans in the 1850s and owned a bar there. He adopted the recipe and published it in his book, giving credit to the inventor. [1] [2] [3] [4] [6]This fact can be considered something rare. At that time, recipes were usually copied without indicating where they came from and who had invented them. Jerry Thomas states who created 29 of the 239 recipes he published. Of these 29 recipes, only five came from another American bartender, namely a person Jerry Thomas refers to as “Santina”, stating that he was “a celebrated Spanish caterer” and “proprietor of Santina’s Saloon, a celebrate Spanish Café, in New Orleans”. Jerry Thomas’ information is inaccurate, however, because his “Santina” was actually Joseph Santini, who was not Spanish, and his café was not Spanish. [2] [4]
Jerry Thomas printed two more drinks by Joseph Santini, a Punch and a Pousse Café, but these two are of little importance in historical retrospect. His Crustas, on the other hand, are far more important. Jerry Thomas makes them with brandy, whiskey or gin. The Crustas are Joseph Santini’s variation on the cocktails of the time, and are, as David Wondrich writes, “among the most sophisticated drinks known to the bartender’s art“. [2] Joseph Santini’s variation is not actually a big one, but it packs a punch. He simply added a few squirts of lemon juice to a normal cocktail made “fancy” by the addition of liqueur, but not so much as to make the drink a sour, and gave it a “fancy” garnish of lemon zest and sugar crystals. [1] [2] The liqueur adds depth to the cocktail, and the lemon juice makes it shine. [2] It is important to use only a little lemon juice, because it is only meant to accentuate. [4] We want to agree with this statement. On a trial basis, we first added as much sugar as was necessary to achieve a balanced sweet-sour ratio with 10 ml of lemon juice, as one should normally do. This makes the Brandy Crusta balanced – but it also lacks sparkle. With a little less sugar syrup, on the other hand, there is a slight imbalance that makes it more interesting, a little more acidic. This reminds us of the reconstruction of the Frauenkirche in Dresden. In a TV documentary it was reported that the medieval rules of the stonemasons had been followed and consequently no perfect 90° angles were built. Unconsciously, one notices the difference. The reduced perfection makes the building look more organic and beautiful than it would with perfect angles. It is the same with the Brandy Crusta: with a slight imbalance it becomes more ‘correct’. Only in this way does it get the ‘sparkle’ it should have.
Through this addition of lemon juice, the Brandy Crusta builds a bridge to the punch, and David Wondrich says that one could therefore definitely also call it a kind of punch. [4]
The Brandy Crusta is the first cocktail to which lemon juice was added. [4] It was certainly not immediately successful, but it had its aficionados, and gradually lemon juice was added to cocktails more and more often, until finally, in the 1890s, it was no longer unusual. [4]
The ingredients
If you look at the recipes, there is a lot of confusion, there are many different ingredients, and it is difficult to discover any consistency here. But the statistics are helpful, because they show how a Brandy Crusta has been interpreted. First of all, Jerry Thomas says that the Brandy Crusta is a further development of the cocktail, and we can deduce that – apart from the Crusta rim – it is actually a fancy cocktail with a little lemon juice. Is this reflected in the recipes?
In the first diagram we show – with the exception of the sugar source – whether the ingredients that make a cocktail a cocktail have also been used throughout. Here we look at the use of bitters and citrus. Here we see that, with few exceptions, a Brandy Crusta contains bitters and lemon juice. So the recipes that do not have this we can classify as a degenerated Brandy Crusta.
In the second diagram, we look at the sugar sources. As a rule, these are sugar syrup, which is usually used together with maraschino, curacao or a combination of maraschino and curacao. In addition, there are twelve other ingredients which we have grouped together under the heading “Other”. They are each mentioned less than 10 times in recipes and can therefore be ignored in our consideration. These ingredients are absinthe, pineapple syrup, apricot brandy, Bénédictine, Eau D’Or, strawberry syrup, Goldwasser, grenadine, raspberry syrup (or juice), cherry liqueur, orchard syrup, orgeat and vermouth.
Orchard syrup, according to the Oxford Companion, is a fruit syrup made by boiling down fruit juice, sometimes with the addition of sugar. The main ingredient used is a mixture of apple and pear juice. [7-518]
We can see that, all in all, many ingredients have been used. But that is not a bad thing, because this diversity is very much rooted in the definition of brandy crusta. Jerry Thomas gives us a recipe in 1862, but only indirectly. He writes: „Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lemon juice and a small lump of ice added.“ Depending on what you mean by a fancy cocktail, the recipe of the crusta also changes. If we take a cocktail as a basis, a Brandy Crusta must contain the basic spirit (brandy), sugar and bitters. The water comes from the ice. This cocktail becomes fancy by adding an additional flavouring (such as the classic additions of absinthe, curaçao or maraschino). Jerry Thomas opted for curaçao. A little lemon juice and the typical crusta garnish of sugar and lemon zest turn this drink into a crusta.
Against this background, if we look at the historical recipes and the ingredients used, we see that most follow this definition, although exceptions are possible. But most use bitters, lemon juice, sugar syrup, curaçao and/or maraschino.
The first recipes up to 1881 still use curaçao – as suggested by Jerry Thomas – and we follow him in our recipe. We assume that Joseph Santini may also have used Curaçao, because Jerry Thomas names him as the originator of the recipe he gave. From 1882 onwards, curaçao is only rarely used and maraschino becomes the preferred ingredient. Modern interpretations again increasingly give preference to curaçao.
We do not want to go further into the recipes, but only to state once again that we have been given a recipe by Jerry Thomas, which probably comes closest to that of Joseph Santini. However, the definition of a Crusta is so broad that anyone can turn another fancy cocktail into a Crusta according to their own taste. The recipes that have been handed down are very creative.
But there seems to be another view of what a crusta is. According to this view, a drink becomes a crusta through the crusta-typical garnish: lemon zest and sugar rim. The drink does not have to be a fancy cocktail. Whether you still want to call it a crusta is up to you. For us, it is no longer a crusta, because it stretches the original definition too far. They are autonomous drinks. This confusion has been around from the beginning, and William Terrington described a crusta in 1869 as a spirit to which you add ice and sugar and garnish it with a large lemon zest. Now this is really no longer a crusta, because he doesn’t even mention the typical sugar rim; rather, he adds the sugar to the spirit.
We have read that the Brandy Crusta is the ancestor of the sidecar. [1] [3] [4] However, if you look at the recipe of a sidecar, you quickly realise that this statement cannot be true. A Sidecar consists of cognac, Triple Sec and lemon juice. It is no longer a variation on a cocktail, because the bitters are missing. Rather, we see in the sidecar a variation of the sours. If you take a Cognac Sour made of Cognac, sugar and lemon juice as a base and make it “fancy” by changing the sugar source, you get a Sidecar.

These drinks are served in green or red hock glasses,
and next to the julep, they are the prettiest (from an artistic
point of view) drinks sold at the bar. You first mix your
ingredients in a small tumbler, or rummer — and when they
are quite ready, you stand the glass in ice, whilst you pare
a lemon, and chat to the customer. You cut it precisely the
same way as you would an apple, round and round in one
piece, with as little of the white pith as possible. Measure
round the glass with the lemon, and cut off sufficient to
line the inside. The whole glass is not lined, only a rim
of lemon placed inside. Having measured the glass lay the
lemon on one side. Rub the edges of the glass, inside and
out with a cut lemon. Dip it in pearl sugar, and it looks
like fine hoar frost on the red or green glass. Now put
in the lemon rind, fixing it so that the drinker will have no
trouble, i. e, lower at the side where the lemon rind joins
— so that the liquid will come clearly from the glass into the
mouth.
A VERY good mixture for a
Crusta
Is as follows : —
Eau D’Or, 1 Small Glass.
Calysaine Bitters, 1/2 Teaspoonful.
Brandy, 1 Liqueur Glass.
Shaved Ice.

carefully with a fork or sugar tongs, so it will just fit the interior of the
glass. Now take a medium-size mixing-glass three-quarters full of cracked
ice, and add two drops of Angostura bitters and a flavor of maraschino; throw
in a jigger of good cognac, stir thoroughly, strain into p repared glass and
serve.

Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little
lemon juice and a small lump of ice added. First, mix the
ingredients in a small tumbler, then take a fancy red wine-

dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere
to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon the same as you
would an apple (all in one piece) so that the paring will fit
in the wineglass, and strain the crusta from the tumbler into

These were prepared just
like the Whiskey Crusta but only one wine-glass of the Brandy or Rum
was used.
Seite 49: Whiskey Crusta:
A nice clean lemon was selected, the size of the wine-
glass to be used. Both ends were cut off and the peel removed in circu-
lar-spiral manner. The peel was then placed inside the wineglass to
cover the inner surface. The edge of the glass and the top of the lemon
peel were then dipped in pulverized sugar. In a large bar-glass was placed
one-half pony-glass of Orgeat syrup, one or two dashes of Angostura,
one dash of lemon juice, two dashes of Maraschino, one-half glass of
fine shaved ice and three-quarters wine-glass of whiskey. This was well
mixed with a spoon and then strained into the prepared wine-glass, a little
fruit put on top and served.

Use small bar glass.
Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little
lernon juice and a small lump of ice added. First, mix the
ingredients in a small tumbler, then take a fancy red wine-
glass, rub a sliced lemon around the rim of the same, and
dip it in pulverized white sugar, so that the sugar will adhere
to the edge of the glass. Pare half a lemon the same as you
would an apple (all in one piece) so that the paring will fit
in the wineglass, and strain the crusta from the tumbler into
it. Then smile.

Das Eigentümliche bei diesem Getränk ist die besondere
Vorbereitung des Glases. — Man wählt eine Zitrone, die
in ein Weinglas hineinpaßt, so daß sie vom Glasrand fest
gehalten wird, schneidet das aus dem Glase herausragende
Stück ca. 1/2 Centimeter über dem Glasrand ab und hernach
ein ebensogroßes Stück am anderen Ende der Zitrone. Von
dem auf diese Weise erhaltenen Mittelstück entfernt man
das Zitronenfleisch, und zwar derart, daß die Schale dabei
ganz bleibt (eine Röhre bildet). Diese Röhre steckt man
dann in das Glas und stülpt dieses samt der Röhre in feinen
Zucker, wodurch sich eine Kruste bildet, nach der das Ge-
tränk auch seinen Namen erhalten hat. Will man die
Kruste färben, dann taucht man den Rand zuerst in ein wenig
auf einen Teller gegossenen roten, grünen oder anders-
farbigen Likör und danach in feinen Zucker. Einfluß auf
das Getränk hat diese Präparierung des Glases nur in
fachlich als ungünstig zu bezeichnendem Sinne, denn erstens
wird durch das ins Getränk hineinragende große Stück Zi-
tronenschale ein übermäßig starker Zitronenöl-Geschmack
übertragen und zweitens verursacht der Zuckerrand eine
Klebrigkeit, die sich beim Trinken unangenehm bemerk-
bar macht. Das Aussehen solcher Crustas ist zwar eigen-
artig und gefällig, aber einen logischen Sinn kann man
diesen Getränken nicht zusprechen.
1934 A. T. Neirath: Rund um die Bar. Seite 260. Crustas.
Wie schon im Teil I des Lehrbuches (Seite 113) angegeben
wird, leitet dieses Getränk seinen Namen von dem dazu
verwendeten eigenartig präparierten Glase ab. Die alko-
holische Basis der Crustas ist entweder Gin, Whisky, Brandy
oder Rum und — je nach der Verwendung einer dieser
Spirituosen — wird das Getränk als Gin-Crusta, Whisky-
Crusta, Brandy-Crusta oder Rum-Crusta bezeichnet. Die
Mischung wird im Schüttelbecher hergestellt und in das
präparierte Glas geseiht, mit Früchten garniert, mit Stroh
halmen und einem kleinen Löffel serviert (Präparierung
des Glases siehe Seite 88 im I. Teil des Lehrbuches).

Made like Rum Crusta, using Brandy.
Seite 33: Rum Crusta.
The crusta is so-called because before the drink is mixed,
the rim of a cocktail glass is moistened with whatever
liquor is to be used and then turned upside down to be dipped
into powdered sugar, which forms a crust on the rim of the
glass very pleasant to look at and equally pleasant when
placing lips to glass after drink is mixed. To make a Rum
Crusta, therefore, moisten the rim of glass with rum and dip
rim into powdered sugar. Now, pour into a shaker two
ounces of (any) rum, a quarter teaspoon of “gum,” a dash of
Angostura Bitters, a dash of lemon juice and a dash of
Curacao, two tablespoons of finely cracked ice, and the thinly
peeled yellow rind of a half lemon. Shake thoroughly until
shaker begins to frost. Strain carefully into the cocktail
glass, being careful not to wash off the sugar crust from rim
of glass. You’ll be dehghted with this drink, really only a
“stiff” cocktail under an alias.

Der Name dieser Getränkeart wird von „Rinde,
Kruste” abgeleitet und dies aus dem Grunde, weil
die Rinde oder Schale einer Zitrone, Orange oder
Mandarine, mit einer Zuckerkruste versehen, das
charakteristische Merkmal dieser Getränkeart bildet.
Die Herstellung dieser Kruste ist für alle Mi-
schungen die gleiche und wird auf folgende Art
gemacht.
Von einer Zitrone bzw. Orange oder Mandarine
wird eine Scheibe von 2 cm Stärke aus der Mitte
ausgeschnitten. Dieses Zitronenrädchen wird auf
den Tisch gelegt, worauf man mit einem spitzen
scharfen Messer einen runden Schnitt ausführt, so
daß die Zitronenschale einen Ring bildet. Von
diesem Ring wird das Weiße möglichst sauber
entfernt.
Das ausgehobene Zitronenfleisch wird ausgedrückt
und nun der Schalenring an einer Seite in den Saft
getaucht. Der so angefeuchtete Ring wird an der
nassen Seite in Puderzucker getaucht, welcher als-
bald eine Kruste bildet.
Der so behandelte Ring wird nun auf ein Glas
so gesetzt, daß der Zucker obenauf zu stehen
kommt.
Bei der Wahl der Zitrone muß man achten, daß
die Größe derselben mit dem Glasumfang überein-
stimmt, da der Krustenring am Glasrand etwas
über diesen ragen soll. Die zu den Crustas nötigen
Gläser sind Dessertwein- oder Rotweingläser.

All crustas are made in the same way. They are pre-
pared in the shaker, half filled with broken ice, strained
into the crusta glass, and decorated with slices of fruit
in season.
The crusta glass is about the same size as a small
wine-glass, and it has to be specially prepared before-
hand. Instructions for this preparation are as follows.
First moisten the inside edges of the glass with
lemon juice, and dust with castor sugar to obtain a
frosted effect. Now take a clean lemon, cut off the ends,
and peel the rest spiral fashion. Place this peel in the
crusta glass as a lining.

1948 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 224. Crustas.
The distinguishing feature of the Crusta is
that the entire inside of the glass is lined with lemon
or orange peel. The drink may be served in either a
wineglass or an Old-Fashioned glass, although it is
much harder to make the peel fit in the Old-Fash-
ioned glass.
Take a large lemon or a small orange of a size ap-
proximating that of the glass to be used. Cut off both
ends and peel the remainder in spiral fashion so as
to keep the peel all in one piece. Line the inside of the
glass with this peel, wet the edge of the glass, and dip
in powdered sugar to frost the edge of both peel and
glass. In a bar glass mix 1 part sugar syrup, 2 parts
lemon juice, and 8 parts brandy with 1 or 2 dashes
each of maraschino and bitters to each drink. Shake
with finely crushed ice and strain into the prepared
glass.
While the BRANDY CRUSTA is the most common
form of this drink, it is, after all, merely a Sour-type
drink served in fancy style. Substitution of a different
liquor as a base will give you a GIN CRUSTA, a RUM
CRUSTA, an APPLEJACK CRUSTA, a WHISKY
CRUSTA, and so on.

Crusta is made the same as a fancy cocktail, with a little lemon
juice, and a small lump of ice added. First mix the ingredients in a
small tumbler, then take a fancy red wineglass, rub a sliced lemon
around the rim of the same, and dip it in pulverized white sugar,
so that the sugar will adhere to the edge of the glass. Pare half a
lemon, the same as you would an apple (all in one piece), so that
the paring will fit in the wineglass, asshown in the cut. Strain the
crusta from the tumbler into it, then smile.

A Crusta is a particular little breed of drink which
seems to require two things to make it legitimate: a
frosted wineglass and the entire peeling of a lemon or
orange fitted right into the glass. The rest of it’s
standard — liquor, lemon juice, maraschino liqueur,
a dash of bitters or some other flavoring, all handled
like a cocktail and poured into lemon or orange peel-
ing.

1949 Harry Schraemli: Das grosse Lehrbuch der Bar. Seite 262. Die Crustas.
Die «Crustas» sind lecker aussehende und ebenso
schmeckende «Long-drinks». Dass sie nicht überall popu-
lär sind, ist der Umständlichkeit ihrer Zubereitung zuzu-
schreiben. «Crustas» sind wegen ihrer alkoholischen Stärke
eigentliche Herrengetränke. Empfehlen kann man sie
abends nach dem Essen.
Grundrezept: Man nehme ein mittelgrosses Weinglas
mit Stiel, fahre über dessen Rand mit einem Stückchen
Zitrone, so dass der
Rand angefeuchtet wird
und tupfe dann das Glas
sachte in Grieszucker.
Der Grieszucker wird
sich nun dort, wo der
Rand feucht ist, anhef-
ten, und es sieht nun
aus als ob der Rand
des Glases mit einer fei-
nen Kruste Eis über
zogen wäre. Hierauf
schäle man eine Zitrone und zwar so, dass die Schale ein
Band bildet und gebe sie in
das präparierte Glas. Hierauf
fülle man den Shaker halbvoll
mit feingeschlagenem Roheis
und füge hinzu: den Saft von
1/2 Zitrone, 1 Barlöffel Zucker,
2 dashes Angosturabitter, 3 das-
hes Maraschino und 1 Glas der
gewünschten Sorte Alkohol.
Das Ganze wird sehr gut ge-
schüttelt und in das hergerich-
tete Glas gegossen. Mit Barlöf-
fel und Saughalmen servieren.
«Crustas» werden aus Co-
gnac, Gin, Whisky, Rum, Wein
etc. gemacht.
1949 Harry Schraemli: Das grosse Lehrbuch der Bar. Seite 311. Brandy-Crusta.
Man befeuchtet den Rand eines Crustaglases (ballon-
förmiges Weinglas) mit einem Stückchen Zitrone, tupft
das Glas dann in Griesszucker,
so dass ein gleichmässiger,
etwa 2 Zentimeter breiter Zuk-
kerrand entsteht. Dann schält
man eine saubere, nicht zu
grosse Zitrone, so wie man
einen Apfel schält, d. h. dass
die ganze Schale an einem
Bande bleibt und gibt diese in
das präparierte Glas. Hierauf
gibt man in den Schüttelbecher
2-3 3igrosse Stücke Eis, den
Saft von 1/2 Zitrone, 1 Barlöffel
Zucker, 2 dashes Angosturabit-
ter, 3 dashes Maraschino und
1 Glas Cognac. Gut schütteln
und in das Glas seihen. Mit Barlöffel und Saughalmen
servieren.

1949 Wilhelm Stürmer: Cocktails by William. Seite 69. Crustas.
Der Cocktail eroberte auf seinem Siegeszug die ganze Welt. Nicht zuletzt
gewann er auch das Herz und den Gaumen Santinas, eines berühmten
soanischen Wirtes von New Orleans. Es dünkte ihn barbarisch, die köst-
lichen Tropfen des Cocktails leblos hinter einer Glaswand zu sehen. Lange
zerbrach er sich den Kopf. Dann hafte er es gefunden. Sanfina ging in den
südlichen Garten und pflückte eine Zitrone von der Größe eines Weinglases.
Sorfälfig schälte er sie in einem Stück ab und paßte die Schale dem Glase
an, so daß sie die ganze Innenfläche bedeckte. Mit einer Zitronenscheibe
fuhr er über den Rand des Glases. Als er den so angefeuchteten Rand in
Staubzucker tauchte, schimmerte er wie überzogen mit Reif oder Eis, Nun
verfuhr er wie mit einem Cocktail. Er seihte die durchgeschüttelte Mischung
in das vorbereitete Glas und schmückte seinen so entstandenen Crusta mit
verlockenden Früchten.
Damit Du, mein Leser, gleich den richtigen Weg gehst, will Ich Dir meine
speziellen Crustarezepte verraten.

1952 Charles: The Cocktail Bar. Seite 108. Crustas.
All crustas are made in the same way. They are pre-
pared in the shaker, half filled with broken ice, strained
into the crusta glass, and decorated with slices of fruit
in season.
The crusta glass is about the same size as a small
wine-glass, and it has to be specially prepared before-
hand. Instructions for this preparation are as follows.
First moisten the inside edges of the glass with
lemon juice, and dust with castor sugar to obtain a
frosted effect. Now take a clean lemon, cut off the ends,
and peel the rest spiral fashion. Place this peel in the
crusta glass as a lining.

1/6 gill of lemon juice,

fit this curl of peel into the contour of
your glass. Then in a shaker mix 1 tea-
spoon of sugar, 3 dashes of Maras-
chino, 3 dashes of bitters, juice of one-
quarter of a lemon, 1 glass of brandy.
Shake well and pour into a prepared

1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 233. Crustas.
The distinguishing feature of the Crusta is that the
entire inside of the glass is lined with lemon or orange peel. The drink
may be served in either a wineglass or an Old-Fashioned glass, although
it is much harder to make the peel fit in the Old-Fashioned glass.
Take a large lemon or a small orange of a size approximating that
of the glass to be used. Cut off both ends and peel the remainder in
spiral fashion so as to keep the peel all in one piece. Line the inside of
the glass with this peel, wet the edge of the glass, and dip in powdered
sugar to frost the edge of both peel and glass. In a bar glass mix 1 part
sugar syrup, 2 parts lemon juice, and 8 parts brandy with 1 or 2 dashes
each of maraschino and bitters to each drink. Shake with finely crushed
ice and strain into the prepared glass.
While the BRANDY CRUSTA is the most common form of this
drink, it is, after all, merely a Sour-type drink served in fancy style.

1957 Henri Barman: Cocktails et autres boissons mélangées. Seite 122. Crustas.
Ce beau ”longdrink” jouissant d’ailleurs d’une haute considé-
ration tient son nom du fait, que jadis l’écorce de citron, prescrite
par toutes les recettes, était complètement garnie d’une croute
(crusta) de sucre. Cette opération assez compliquée a été grande-
ment simplifiée. Maintenant on agit comme suit : on prend un
verre à vin (sur pied) en forme de ballon de moyenne grandeur
et on en frotte le bord avec un zeste de citron. Après cela le bord
est trempé dans le sucre râpé, qui le ”givre”, là ou l’essence de
citron a tenu.
Ensuite on prend un citron dont on coupe une pointe, de façon
à ce que le fruit ait la hauteur même du verre. On épluche le citron
en forme de spirale et l’écorce est mise en spirale dans le verre.
Le dernier bout de l’écorce est attaché au bord du verre.
Les ingrédients, prescrits dans la recette, sont bien frappés dans
le shaker et passés dans le verre préparé.
Note pour le mélangeur électrique : qui dispose du gobelet avec
batteur spécial pour cocktails peut remuer les ingrédients avec la
glace. L e meilleur temps de mélange se trouve entre 10 et 20 sec.
Si on se sert du gobelet standard avec les couteaux ordinaires,
ne pas mélanger la glace avec les ingrédients, car la glace serait
moulue finement et noyerait la boisson. 11 suffit de rafraîchir le
gobelet avec de la glace, que l’on évacue, avec l’eau glacée, avant
de faire les mélanges.
Temps nécessaire pour le mélange : de 10 à 20 sec.

Eine kräftige Verlockung für Zungen, die sich nach einer Erfrischung
sehnen. Der leckere Herren=long=drink für die unterhaltsame Zeit
nach dem Abendessen, an dem Gaumen und Auge Freude haben.
Grundrezept:
Ein Weinglas mit Stiel wird an seinem oberen Rand rundherum mit
einem Zitronenviertel gut angefeuchtet und schnell, bevor der Saft
innen und außen abtropft, in einen Staubzuckerhaufen gestülpt. Es
bildet sich dadurch die Crusta, ein wie Rauhreif aussehender Zucker=
kristallstreifen am Glasrand. Diese Crustas können auch mit Oran=
gen, Grapefruit, Ananas oder Pfirsich präpariert werden. Wieder
andere Crustas entstehen, wenn man die Gläser ganz vorsichtig, so
daß wirklich nur ihr äußerster Rand berührt wird, in dicken Sirup
dippt und dann in Zucker steckt (z. B . in Sirup von eingemachten
Zwergorangen, Himbeeren, in Cassis= oder Maplesirup). Am be=
kanntesten sind die Zitronencrustas, bei denen man auch noch die
ganze Schalenspirale der Zitronen in das Innere des Glases dressiert,
bevor man die geschüttelten Mischungen darübergibt.

On recommande ce genre de drinks le soir après le repas, également dans des soirées,

Recette de base: On garnit en premier lieu un verre ballon de moyenne grandeur
d’une jolie bordure bien égale de sucre (voir illustration en couleur). Dans ce verre
on place ensuite l’écorce entière d’un citron moyen. Puis on remplit la moitié du
shaker de petits dés de glace et on ajoute ce qui suit: 1/2 jus de citron, 1 cuillère à bar
de sucre, 2 dashes d’angosturabitter, 3 dashes de marasquin et 1 verre mesure de
whisky ou ce que la recette prescrit. On secoue comme il faut le tout et on le verse
dans le verre. Servir avec paille. On prépare les crustas avec du cognac (brandy),
whisky, gin, rhum, etc.

2 cm de largeur. On pèle ensuite un citron pas trop gros ainsi qu’une
pomme, de sorte que toute l’écorce forme un ruban et on le met dans
le verre préparé. On met ensuite dans le shaker 3—4 dés de glace,
le jus d’un 1/2 citron, 1 cuillère à bar de sucre, 2 dashes d’angostura,
3 dashes de marasquin et 1 verre de cognac. Bien agiter, passer dans

Trago de origen norteamericano. Se diferencia del Cobbler por
su presentación, y su principal característica es la “coronación”.
Su preparación se efectúa dentro de la coctelera, que deberá estar
llena hasta la mitad con hielo en trozos chicos; una vez bien mez-
clados los distinos componentes colar en vaso para “Crustas” o
para trago largo (en algunas excepciones se utilizan vasos más peque-
ños o copas de Vino) y decorar con rodajas de frutas de la estación
(esto último, algunos barmen – internacionalmente hablando -,
prefieren suprimirlo).
La “coronación” debe ser preparada de antemano de la siguiente
manera:
Cortar el extremo de un limón, pasarlo por el borde del vaso
(o copa) para que se moje con el jugo, invertir luego y apoyar sobre
azúcar cristalizado blanco previamente preparado en un platito.
De esta manera todo el borde quedará recubierto de una “corona”
blanca de azúcar. Después cortar la cáscara del resto del limón en
forma de espiral (debe estar lo más finita posible y sin lo blanco)
y colocarla dentro del vaso como revestimiento.
Este procedimiento es igual para todos los “Crustas”.
