Classic Rye Flip
Indulge in the rich and velvety allure of the Classic Rye Flip, a cocktail that marries the robust flavors of rye whiskey with the creamy texture of egg and a touch of sweetness from sugar. This timeless drink, dating back to the 19th century, is a delightful nod to the elegance of vintage cocktails, often enjoyed as a warming nightcap. The frothy finish, crowned with freshly grated nutmeg, invites you to savor each sip while feeling a sense of nostalgia for the golden age of mixology.

- Rye whiskey
- 2 ounces
- Egg

- Ice
- for shaking
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye whiskey, fresh egg, and granulated sugar.
- Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker.
- Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients and froth the egg, ensuring a light and airy texture.

Tips
- For a sweeter variation, consider adding a dash of maple syrup or honey to the mixture.

- This cocktail can be made with other types of whiskey, such as bourbon, for a different flavor profile.
