Pisco Flip
A Pisco Flip is a creamy and frothy cocktail that combines the potent grape brandy known as Pisco with the richness of egg and the sweetness of simple syrup, all balanced with a touch of nutmeg. It’s a variation of the classic flip cocktail family, which dates back to the colonial era and includes an entire egg. This drink is perfect for those who appreciate a spirit-forward cocktail with a silky texture and a complex flavor profile.
