Whether you land in the egg nog camp or not, festive, boozy, neutral ground can be found in the flip.
For some, ’tis the season of thick, rich, lactose-forward eggnog. Then there’s the rest of us. Whether you land in the nog camp or not, a festive, boozy, neutral ground can be found in the flip.
The winding road to the flip as we know it today starts in 17th century England, where a flip was a warm winter drink made with beer, rum and sugar. In early America, an innovation changed it — a hot iron was plunged into the finished drink, causing it to froth, or “flip.” Eventually, the flip lost both the beer and the red-hot poker, picked up a whole egg and became, like revenge, best served cold.The official L.A.
Although traditionally made without cream, flips are decidedly creamy in texture — rich and sweet-leaning, with a thick, impressively frothy head. The secret to achieving these holiday-friendly attributes at home lies in the dry shake. Since ice inhibits foam, this technique relies on a vigorous shake sans ice to facilitate foaming first, then adds cubes for a second shake to chill and dilute.
Choose your flip based on your love of — or aversion to — eggnog. The Noggy Flip is more nog-leaning, combining aged rum, sherry and warming spices. The Not So Noggy Flip, shaken with the nog-avoidant in mind, pulls together aromatic Amaro, sweet vermouth and a maraschino cherry.Your reward either way is a seasonally appropriate cocktail in both look and flavor that will impress as folks come through the door or that is served alongside — or in place of — dessert.
