ALE FLIP

Name: ALE FLIP
Ingredients: 10 ounces Ale (Brown or Mild recommended) (Quantity estimated for 'Ale glass nearly full'. Choose a malty beer.); 1 teaspoon Superfine sugar (Originally 'Bar Sugar'.); 1 whole Egg (Use pasteurized egg for safety as it is served raw.); 1 pinch Nutmeg (Freshly grated recommended.)

This traditional Ale Flip from 1917 offers a unique, deconstructed take on the classic category of beer cocktails. Robust ale is sweetened with bar sugar and enriched with a whole egg, creating a drink that is both savory and restorative. Finished with freshly grated nutmeg and served with a spoon for stirring, this historical beverage provides a rich, creamy texture and a warming, aromatic flavor profile.
