1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

Chapter VUI How to Make Flips

Although this is one of the shortest chapters in this volume,it is certainly one of the strongest. Possibly because flips are a short type of drink, long-winded narrations are needless. One drinks the concoction virtually as the name imphes—it's a slip of the flip to the hp and down after a sip! Let's try them. BRANDY FLIP Use your shaker for this one, poirring into shaved ice two ounces of brandy (any kind), a teaspoon of "gum" and a thoroughly beaten fresh egg. Shake weU and strain into small glass, topping with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg,or both,as you prefer. RUM FLIP Same as Brandy Fhp,onlysubstituting yourfavorite rum. WINE FLIP Same as Brandy Fhp, using Port, Sherry or other sweet and highly fortified wines, instead of brandy, and three ounces instead of two ounces. HOTBRANDY FLIP Beat the yolk of one fresh egg until it runs hke water, add a tablespoon of"gum,"two ounces of(any)brandy,mix and pour into heavy goblet of medium size. FiU half to two- thirds fuU of hot water, stir weU and sprinkle top with pinch of cinnamon, grated nutmeg,or both, as you like it. WHISKY FLIP Same as Brandy Fhp,using your favorite whisky.

HOT GIN FLIP Same as Hot Brandy Fhp,using gin instead of Brandy.
