The original calls for a jigger of apricot liqueur and the juice of one lime.

Mix tequila, Cointreau, agave nectar and fresh lime juice in a shaker with ice. Pour into a margarita glass rimmed with salt. Pour the Chambord on top, so as to create a crimsonfloat. Garnish with a lime wedge.
Combine, stir, garnish
PUNCH (http://punchdrink.com/recipes/rattle-skull/) has a slightly different version of this that has 1/2 oz brown sugar syrup in it.
Some mid-19th-century sources mention wine, and lime-peel rather than juice.
Stir with ice, strain into cocktail glass, garnish with orange twist.
There are intermediate versions of this with Rye, Averna and Creole Shrubb or Bourbon, Averna and Strega.
The Rye/Averna version is here: http://www.bucketlistbars.com/drinks/94-the-rebennack-cocktail
So it turns out that there are a couple versions of this drink floating around the internet, including a Youtube video of Chris Hannah making the drink. I have curated this one to conform with the cited link and added a link to the Rye/Averna/Creole Shrubb version as well. Thanks, Zachary
Note that the reference used also mentions nothing about ice & this is often recommended as a room temperature cocktail.
