Alla scoperta del Porto Flip: storia, ricetta e abbinamenti

🍸 The Porto Flip, an 'Unforgettable' cocktail from the International Bartenders Association (IBA), combines brandy, Porto, and egg yolk. Traced back to 1600s England, flips were hot beer-based drinks popular among sailors. The present-day cold Porto Flip evolved from a recipe first published in 1884 by O.H. Byron, with later additions like nutmeg. Recognized for its restorative properties, it's less known today but remains on the IBA list codified in 1986. The IBA recipe includes 15ml brandy, 45ml red Porto, 10ml egg yolk, and nutmeg, shaken with ice and strained into a chilled cocktail glass. Variations might include sherry, Madeira, aged grappa, apple jack, rye whiskey, or Jamaican rum, with possible egg alternatives like quail or ostrich, or salty zabaglione.
