It is considered to be the 21st Century's most popular modern classic cocktail.
Created by a bartender Sam Ross at Milk and Honey Bar in New York.

It's a riff on another famous cocktail Gold Rush from the same bar, which is made by mixing bourbon whiskey, lemon juice and honey. Sam Ross gave an interesting twist to the drink by substituting bourbon with scotch whisky, he added ginger- honey syrup and the cherry on the top for this cocktail is the float of smokey whisky.
The simplicity of the cocktail made it world famous and also a favourite drink of many bartenders across globe.

The name of the cocktail is inspired by the medicinal properties of the ingredients used in making this beautiful drink.

Cheers to
for this amazing cocktail.

Flip style of cocktails call for a balance between the spirit or fortified wine, the sweetness of the sugar, and the fat and frothiness of the egg.

In this cocktail selection of a spirit plays a vital role, aged spirits are preferred over unaged spirits. Aged spirits offer full and rounded flavour notes which is the exact requirement to make a well-balanced Flip. Spirits like vodka, white rum etc. make it a very boozy drink and destroys the flavour balance of the cocktail.

The richness and frothy texture are derived from eggs and cream. Demerara sugar adds depth to the cocktail.

A Flip cocktail is usually seasoned with aromatic spices like nutmeg or cinnamon.

Simplicity reduces stress. Exactly like the drink that I am holding in my hand.
For me cocktail is all about simplicity.

Little things make bigger magic.
Do you agree?

Have a Safe, Healthy and Happy Diwali!!!!
