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."
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.
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.
