📜 History
The flip is one of the oldest cocktail formats in the American tradition, dating to the late 17th century when it was made with beer, rum, and raw egg. Modern flips apply the same principle to spirits: a base liquor or liqueur, sweetener, and whole egg shaken together to create a rich, silky drink. Fernet-Branca's bold herbal and minty complexity, combined with the fat of the egg and cream, produces a nightcap of unusual depth.
