This drink is deliciously different. Rum, grapefruit, and pomegranate are smoothed with egg white and spiced with nutmeg

For those curious - I believe this originates from the 1934 edition of 'The World's Drinks and How to Mix Them' by Bill Boothby. It's not in the 1908 edition, but may feature in the 1930 revision (which I don't have access to).

Many thanks, James. I've added a link on our vintage cocktail books page and amended the quote above.

On the EUVS archive the title ‘Swallows’ by Boothby actually appears to be the 1930 version of ‘World Drinks And How To Mix Them’. The Hollywood is there at page 47.

Many thanks, John. I've added the recipe from the 1934 edition above.
