Tonight I decided to make flips as it has been a long time. A flip is a cocktail containing egg (whole egg or just yolk), sugar and a spirit or fortified wine. They are similar to Egg Nogs but while Egg Nogs contain milk or cream, Flips don't. Flips were originally served hot, often warmed with a hot poker. Today they are mostly served cold, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled coupe or wine glass, usually garnished with a dusting of nutmeg. This flip is “Sweet Dreams (are made of this)”, created by Tim Sweeney, Pebble Bar in Rockefeller Center, NYC. (It does have a dusting of nutmeg as a garnish 😉)
