New York Flip Ingredients


New York Flip Instructions

The New York Flip is a classic cocktail that dates back to the 19th century. It is a rich, creamy drink that is perfect for sipping on a cold winter night. The New York Flip gets its name from the technique used to mix the ingredients - flipping the mixture between two glasses.

To make a New York Flip, you will need a few simple ingredients. Start by cracking an egg into a mixing glass and adding some sugar. Mix the egg and sugar together until they are well combined. Then, add a shot of bourbon and a shot of brandy to the glass. Finally, add a splash of cream and a pinch of nutmeg.

Once all of the ingredients are in the glass, it's time to flip! Take another mixing glass and pour the mixture back and forth between the two glasses. This process helps to mix the ingredients and create a frothy texture. Keep flipping the mixture for about a minute or until it is well mixed.

After you have finished flipping the mixture, strain it into a glass filled with ice. The New York Flip is traditionally served over ice, but you can also serve it neat if you prefer. Garnish the drink with a sprinkle of nutmeg and enjoy!


Best served in a Cocktail Glass.
