History:

Adapted from a recipe created in 2007 by Chris Jepson at Milk and Honey in London, England. Chris' original recipe also contained 3/4 shot of cream. However, strictly speaking, flips contain egg but not cream.

So. the drink in the image is pale. I made this last night and the ruby port tinged the entire cocktail mauve. It wasn’t off putting, and even looked more ‘Christmasy’ - but I’m curious how you keep it pale.

Used tawny port that, additionally, may have been a tad old. Can't recommend, yech.

Didn't have a strong opinion on this one, although in fairness I was trying to use up a bottle of port I was already less than impressed with. Slightly curious what ruby port you were using that made this come out yellow.

No ruby port to hand but just made with a tawny port - the yellow of the egg overwelmed the red wine.
