For me, holidays and flip style cocktails are inseparable. Rich, creamy and decadent texture is a perfect match for the holiday spirit. New York Flip is a lovely addition to a Christmas cocktail menu, sure to please cocktail enthusiasts and complete novices.
Base of the cocktail is bourbon with its caramel, vanilla, nutmeg and oak notes. Aged nature of the bourbon blends incredibly well with the rich sweet flavour profile of tawny port introducing a satisfying sweetness to the mix. Addition of heavy cream combined with the egg yolk turns the cocktail into a creamy decadent libation, perfect for the holiday season. Last, but not least, a modest dose of simple syrup helps to keep the things in balance, for the most pleasurable drinking experience.
New York Flip is a fantastically delicious dessert cocktail with underlined complexity, a fantastic choice for seasoned cocktail drinkers this Christmas.
