Port Flip
A rich and creamy cocktail that combines the deep flavors of Port wine with the velvety texture of egg and a hint of sweetness, the Port Flip is a delightful after-dinner drink.
Equipment
- Cocktail shaker
- Fine mesh strainer
- Coupe or cocktail glass
- Grater
Ingredients
- 3 oz Ruby Port
- 1 oz Simple Syrup
- 1 Fresh Egg
- Freshly grated Nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- Chill a coupe or cocktail glass by filling it with ice water. Set aside while you prepare the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the Ruby Port, simple syrup, and the whole egg.
- Seal the shaker and perform a dry shake (without ice) for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg.
- Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds to chill the mixture.
- Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. Strain the mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth texture.
- Grate a small amount of fresh nutmeg over the top for garnish.
Notes
For a variation, consider using Tawny Port for a different flavor profile. Ensure that the egg is fresh and of high quality, as it is a key ingredient in this cocktail.
