Strength & taste guide:


Review:

Indulgent creamy mouthfeel but not too sweet, with a great balance between the port and the calvados.

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.

Alcohol content:

  • 0.9 standard drinks
  • 17.65% alc./vol. (35.3° proof)
  • 13.2 grams of pure alcohol
