Porto Flip
The Porto Flip is a rich and creamy cocktail originating from Portugal, known for its unique blend of Port wine, brandy, and egg yolk. It's a classic "flip" style drink, characterized by the inclusion of a whole egg or egg yolk, which gives it a frothy texture. This sophisticated beverage is often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or a luxurious treat. Its complex flavor profile balances the sweetness of Port with the warmth of brandy.

Method
- 1
Combine Ingredients
Into a cocktail shaker, add the 60 ml Port wine, 30 ml brandy, 1 large egg yolk, and 5 ml sugar syrup (or fine sugar).
For best results, ensure your egg yolk is very fresh. If you're concerned about raw egg, use pasteurized egg yolk.
Timer: 1 min

Dry Shake
Secure the lid on the shaker and dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This helps to emulsify the egg yolk and create a frothy texture.
The dry shake is crucial for achieving the signature creamy, frothy head of a flip cocktail.
Dry Shake: 0.3 mincocktail shaker - 3
Wet Shake
Add a handful of ice to the shaker. Secure the lid again and shake vigorously for another 15-20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled.
Shaking with ice not only chills the drink but also adds a small amount of dilution, balancing the flavors.
Wet Shake: 0.3 mincocktail shaker - 4
Strain and Garnish
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or small wine glass. Garnish with a pinch of freshly grated nutmeg.
Double straining (using a fine-mesh sieve in addition to the shaker's built-in strainer) ensures a smooth, ice-chip-free drink. Chill your glass beforehand for an optimal drinking experience.
