📜 History

Chris Hysted-Adams created the Death Flip at The Black Pearl in Melbourne, Australia in 2010. The cocktail seems improbable on paper—tequila, Jägermeister, and Chartreuse sound like a dare—but the combination is surprisingly elegant. Listed on the menu without ingredients and the warning "You don't wanna meet this cocktail in a dark alley," it quickly developed a cult following. The whole egg creates a silky, rich texture that binds the herbal liqueurs together, while the tequila provides a clean agave backbone. The Death Flip proved that Jägermeister could be a serious cocktail ingredient and helped establish Australian bars on the world stage.
