You can sprinkle grated nutmeg on top of the cocktail or dip the rim of the glass in ground nutmeg. To do this, pour warm water into a shallow plate and place nutmeg in another plate. Turn the glass upside down and place it in the water for a second to moisten the rim, then dip the rim into the nutmeg.
