Let’s shake things up—literally. The Get A Flip cocktail is indulgent, spirit-forward, and delightfully unexpected. If you’re someone who loves a bold red wine, rich flavors, and isn’t afraid of a little adventure in your glass, this one’s going to win you over fast.
I stumbled into the world of flip cocktails while doing some late-night research (a.k.a. scrolling through vintage bar books and niche mixology blogs), and the concept immediately caught my eye.
The signature twist? A whole egg—yes, yolk and all.
Now, I know what you’re thinking: “Kelly, a whole egg?!” Trust me—I had my doubts too. B
ut as soon as I tried it, I was blown away by how smooth, creamy, and balanced this cocktail turned out. There’s nothing “scrambled breakfast” about it. Just depth, elegance, and a silky texture that makes each sip feel luxurious.
The base of the Get A Flip is a blend of port wine and Cognac—two bold, rich ingredients that complement each other perfectly.
The port brings sweetness and body, with soft notes of cherry, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. The Cognac, with its vanilla, spice, and oak, sharpens the edges and brings warmth to the mix.
Now enter the whole egg, which does more than just add creaminess. The egg white gives body and froth, while the yolk adds richness and a slight custardy depth.
To amplify the texture and tie everything together, I added a splash of heavy cream—the final layer that makes this cocktail smooth as velvet.
Once shaken vigorously (dry shake first, then with ice), the Get A Flip pours out beautifully thick and lightly frothy, with a natural reddish hue that looks stunning in a coupe glass.
Garnish it with grated nutmeg or dark chocolate shavings if you’re feeling fancy—it plays well with the dessert-like notes of the drink.
Step 1: Add all ingredients into a shaker and then vigorously dry-shake until mixture is foamy. Open the shaker and add ice, and shake again until well-chilled.
Step 2: Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
This cocktail is definitely a Friday night sipper. It’s one of those drinks that makes you slow down, cozy up, and savor. Whether you’re relaxing solo or impressing your friends with something they’ve definitely never tried before, the Get A Flip delivers on flavor, texture, and elegance.
So go ahead—crack an egg and pour the port. You might just flip for it.
