The Coffee Flip combines the creamy elegance of a classic flip with a fine coffee note. Cognac and port form the aromatic base, the whole egg provides velvetiness, and the espresso brings roasted depth. A refined digestif for connoisseurs.

Instructions

  1. Add cognac, port, whole egg, simple syrup and espresso to the shaker.
  2. First shake vigorously without ice (dry shake).
  3. Add ice cubes and shake again for about 15 seconds.
  4. Strain into a pre-chilled coupe.
  5. Dust with freshly grated nutmeg and serve.

Garnish: Freshly grated nutmeg

Pro tip: Use cold, strong espresso instead of hot coffee - this prevents the egg from curdling and gives an intense aroma.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the Coffee Flip special?

The fine coffee note gives the creamy flip a roasted, slightly bitter depth that harmonizes wonderfully with cognac and port.

Hot or cold coffee?

Always cold espresso - hot coffee would curdle the egg and ruin the texture.

When do you serve a Coffee Flip?

As a digestif after the meal, since it is creamy, aromatic and gently stimulating at once.
