History
First published in Frank P. Newman's 1904 book American Bar – Recettes des Boissons Anglaises et Américaines, with equal parts rye and madeira, a teaspoon of sugar and "very fresh egg". The Boston Flip also notably appears in the 1935 Mr. Boston Deluxe Bartender's Guide and Hyman Gale and Gerald F. Marco's 1937 The How and When with recipes calling for similar proportions but with egg yolk rather than a whole egg.

Fruity, yet spirit-forward. Looking at the ingredients, this cocktail should be very sweet. It is rich, but it is surprising how the dilution from...
