About this drink
Flips are on record from the end of the seventeenth century, when the name meant beer and spirit warmed with a red-hot iron. By the nineteenth century it had settled on a shaken mixture of spirit, sugar and egg. This one leans on port, with the yolk giving it weight and a round texture.
