Ice Cream Flip

Pro tips

• Use pasteurized eggs to eliminate food safety concerns with raw egg consumption.
• Keep all ingredients chilled before blending to slow ice cream melting and maintain texture.
• Blend just until combined—over-mixing will thin the drink too much.

Substitutions

• Egg → pasteurized egg white or omit (drink becomes less creamy)
• Vanilla ice cream → rum raisin or chocolate ice cream (shifts flavor profile)
• Curaçao → triple sec (drier, less fruity note)

Storage & make-ahead

Serve immediately after preparation; ice cream melts quickly at room temperature.

Is the raw egg safe to drink in this cocktail?

Raw eggs carry food safety risk. Use pasteurized eggs, or substitute with egg white powder or omit entirely for a safer version.

Can I make this without ice cream?

Yes, but the texture and creaminess will change. Add heavy cream or whole milk instead for a lighter flip-style drink.

What's the difference between maraschino and curaçao in this drink?

Maraschino adds almond-cherry sweetness, while curaçao provides bright citrus notes and color. Both are essential to the classic flavor balance.

How should I serve this cocktail?

Serve chilled in a coupe or rocks glass immediately after blending. The ice cream melts quickly, so drink promptly.
