1½ wine-glass of port wine.
1 teaspoonful of sugar.

Put into a small tumbler one and a quarter wineglasses of port wine and a teaspoon of iceing sugar; fill the tumbler two-thirds full with shaved ice, shake well, strain, and dust with nutmeg.
Review
When perfect dilution is achieved, a Port Sangree is delicious, and that requires good cubed ice, cold dry crushed ice, and powdered sugar. Even a rich sugar syrup seems to add too much water.
