Chapter VUI
How to Make Flips
Although this is one of the shortest chapters in this
volume,it is certainly one of the strongest. Possibly because
flips are a short type of drink, long-winded narrations are
needless. One drinks the concoction virtually as the name
imphes—it's a slip of the flip to the hp and down after a sip!
Let's try them.
BRANDY FLIP
Use your shaker for this one, poirring into shaved ice two
ounces of brandy (any kind), a teaspoon of "gum" and a
thoroughly beaten fresh egg. Shake weU and strain into
small glass, topping with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg,or
both,as you prefer.
RUM FLIP
Same as Brandy Fhp,onlysubstituting yourfavorite rum.
WHISKY FLIP
Same as Brandy Fhp,using your favorite whisky.
WINE FLIP
Same as Brandy Fhp, using Port, Sherry or other sweet
and highly fortified wines, instead of brandy, and three
ounces instead of two ounces.
HOTBRANDY FLIP
Beat the yolk of one fresh egg until it runs hke water,
add a tablespoon of"gum,"two ounces of(any)brandy,mix
and pour into heavy goblet of medium size. FiU half to two-
thirds fuU of hot water, stir weU and sprinkle top with pinch
of cinnamon, grated nutmeg,or both, as you like it.
HOT GIN FLIP
Same as Hot Brandy Fhp,using gin instead of Brandy.
