Cherry Flip

Pro tips

• Shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to properly emulsify the egg and create a silky, foamy top.
• Use a pasteurized egg to reduce food safety concerns while maintaining the authentic texture.
• Chill your glass beforehand so the drink stays cold longer after pouring.
• Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass for an elegant presentation.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Wild Cherry Brandy → any quality cherry liqueur or brandy (flavor will shift slightly)
• Fresh egg → 1/2 oz pasteurized liquid egg white (same texture, safer)

Is it safe to drink raw egg in a cocktail?

Use pasteurized eggs to minimize food safety risk. Many bars use pasteurized liquid egg whites as a substitute.

Can I make this without cream?

Yes—the cream is optional. The cocktail will be lighter and more spirit-forward without it.

What type of brandy works best?

Old Mr. Boston Wild Cherry Brandy is traditional. Any quality cherry brandy will work, though the drink will taste slightly different.

Do I need to shake this drink?

Yes—vigorous shaking with ice is essential to emulsify the egg and create the signature creamy texture and foam.
