Ember Flip

The Ember Flip is a unique and intriguing cocktail that combines the savoriness of dry sherry with the rich texture of egg, a touch of sweetness from sugar, and a surprising hint of heat from cayenne pepper. This drink is a modern twist on the classic "flip" cocktail, a style that dates back to the late 17th century. Originally, flips were warm drinks made with ale, molasses, and egg, heated with a hot iron. Over time, they evolved into chilled cocktails that feature spirits, sugar, and egg, creating a creamy and luscious beverage.

The Ember Flip stands out with its balance of dry and spicy flavors. The sherry provides a nutty and slightly saline backbone, while the egg adds a silky mouthfeel. Sugar sweetens the mix just enough to complement the heat of the cayenne pepper, which adds an unexpected kick. This cocktail is perfect for those who enjoy complex flavors and a touch of spice, offering a sophisticated and adventurous drinking experience.

This cocktail is alcoholic, so drink responsibly! Best served in a Coupe Glass, though any glass works!

Feel free to get creative with substitutions — try different fruit types, sugar substitutes, or liquor brands. Crafting cocktails should be fun!
