The Porto Flip is a rich and decadent cocktail that combines the sweetness of Port wine with the creaminess of egg and the complexity of spirits. This classic drink is perfect as a dessert cocktail or a cozy nightcap.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the Ruby Port, brandy, heavy cream, whole egg, and simple syrup (if using).
Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg and combine the ingredients.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or cocktail glass.
Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg on top.
Notes
The Porto Flip is best enjoyed fresh, as the egg adds a creamy texture that is most appealing right after preparation. For a twist, you can experiment with different types of Port, such as Tawny, for varied flavor profiles.
