FLIPS.

The Flip, particularly the variety made with Rum, is renowned as an old-fashioned drink of great popularity among sailors. It is usually made in the following manner :— I 1 Egg. • RUM FLIP. y^ Tablespoon of Powdered Sugar. 1 Glass of Rum, Brandy, Port Wine, Sherry, or Whisky. Shake well and strain into medium size glass. Grate a little nutmeg on top. In cold weather a dash of Jamaica Ginger can be added. ALE FLIP. Put on the fire in a saucepan one quart of Ale, and let it boil ; have ready the whites of two eggs and the yolks of four, well beaten up separately ; add them by degrees to four tablespoonsful of moist sugar, and half a nutmeg grated. When all are well mixed, pour on the boiling Ale by degrees, beating up the mixture continually ; then pour it rapidly backward and forward from one jug to another, keeping one jug raised high above the other ; till the flip is smooth and finely frothed. This is a good remedy to take at the commencement of a cold.
