Bourbon Flip
Cocktail History
The Bourbon Flip cocktail has been around for centuries and still retains its highly coveted spot among classic cocktails. Dating back to the 1700s, this bourbon-based tipple is made from bourbon whiskey, sugar, and a whole egg. Although an odd combination of ingredients, this drink was deemed the perfect digestif and enjoyed by all! Instead of being shaken or stirred like other renowned cocktails are, Bourbon Flip is flipped and aerated until an irresistible foamy head appears on top. With its creamy layers, unique texture, and subtle sweetness, it’s no wonder Bourbon Flip remains so popular today!

Cocktail Preparation
