Chocolate Flip

Pro tips

• Shake hard and long (10–15 seconds) to fully emulsify the egg and create a silky, foamy texture.
• Use fresh, cold eggs and chill your glass beforehand for the best mouthfeel.
• Strain through a fine sieve if desired to catch any shell fragments and achieve a smoother finish.

Substitutions

• Old Mr. Boston Five Star Brandy → cognac or VS brandy (similar weight and warmth)
• Old Mr. Boston Sloe Gin → another fruit liqueur like Chambord (adjusts flavor; use 3/4 oz)

Is it safe to drink raw egg in a cocktail?

Use pasteurized eggs to minimize food safety risk. Some bars use pasteurized egg products specifically for cocktails.

What does sloe gin taste like?

Sloe gin is a gin-based liqueur with tart, fruity notes from sloe berries, adding depth and slight sweetness to this cocktail.

Can I make this without the cream?

Yes — the recipe lists cream as optional. The egg provides creaminess; omit cream for a lighter version.

Should this drink be shaken or stirred?

Shake vigorously with ice to emulsify the egg and chill thoroughly, then strain into a coupe or cocktail glass.
