Of course I'm re-reading this 18 months later over a Cognac flip nightcap...and not a bottle of rum in sight. People afraid of a raw egg, no different to that emulsified in your mayonnaise, are seriously missing out. I'm cheeky and 150% the recipe for a full coupe glass. It's really cognac and rum I use - I need something either fruity or funky for a good flip.

Really wish this was linked to other Flip recipes as a whole category. Cognac is great but Rum flips are a step somewhere else. No dry shake here?

Agreed, better with a dry shake and I've added this above. We have 5 rum flip recipes - to find them, please use our Cocktail Finder. Enter "Flip" as the key word and under spirits, select "rum all styles."

So simple, and yet lovely. Desserty, but not at all cloying. Truly a forgotten classic.

Overflowed out of my coupe glass. But it is delicious nevertheless. Fantastic dessert/nightcap cocktail.

Use a larger coupe glass than normal. The recipe does not dictate egg size. Larger eggs may need a extra dash of brandy. I could never get a flip to fit into a Nick and Nora glass, so it doesn't seem unusual to need a slight glassware upgrade.

Extremely decedent. Maybe use a little less syrup unless you're going for a dessert in a glass to put you in a food coma. Used a pasteurised egg because that's all I've got, seemed to do the job.

Fresh egg from our chicken. Really nice. 5 *s

Yum, my grand father called it an äggtoddy/aeggtoddy (Swedish ...) old classic, thank you for the reminder. Wil make one now but with whisky ;)

I have decided I rather like flips.

An absolute convert to a flip. The Fumigator was a gateway - to 'use up some cherry brandy' - and this feels like going back to a true flavour. So easy to drink and impressive to serve. Delicious.
