COUNTRY COCKTAIL

COUNTRY COCKTAIL

This rich, flip-style cocktail combines the warmth of brandy and the depth of port wine with a whole egg for a creamy, velvety texture. The addition of sugar balances the spirits, while the fresh nutmeg garnish adds an aromatic finish typical of classic dessert drinks. It serves as a satisfying and indulgent beverage perfect for after-dinner sipping.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup Shaved ice (Quantity estimated to fill a large bar glass 2/3 full.)
  • 1 teaspoon Superfine sugar (Originally 'Bar Sugar'.)
  • 1 ounce Brandy (Originally '1 pony'. Converted to modern measurement (1 pony = 1 fluid ounce).)
  • 1 1/2 ounces Port wine (Originally '1 jigger'. Converted to modern measurement (1 jigger = 1.5 fluid ounces).)
  • 1 large Egg (Use a fresh, pasteurized egg if concerned about raw egg consumption.)
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg (Freshly grated for garnish.)

  2. 2Add the superfine sugar, brandy, port wine, and the whole egg to the shaker with the ice.
  3. 3Shake vigorously until the outside of the shaker is frosted and the egg is fully emulsified. Strain the mixture into a thin glass.
