Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Originally from Jerry Thomas and re-discovered by Ted Haigh, the Crimean Cup à la Marmora is a mini-punch. It starts with an oleo-saccharum. I changed the prep a bit, adding the lemon juice before the spirits to help dissolve the sugar. I did not add soda water; instead I decided to shake with ice for dilution before pouring into the flutes and topping with Champagne. I reduced the amount of orgeat from 2 to 1.5 oz. I don't have white Jamaican rum in my arsenal so I just used Flor de Cana. It's a delicious cocktail that goes down too easily... It's practically a tiki drink with the orgeat, rum and brandy combination. Photo here: http://forums.egullet.org/topic/43836-cocktails-with-champagne/?p=1912932
