How To Make A Sherry Flip Cocktail
To make the Sherry Flip cocktail, start by placing 2 ounces of oloroso sherry, 1 egg, and 1/2 ounce of simple syrup into a cocktail shaker with no ice. Then, aggressively shake everything together for roughly 30 seconds. From there, add ice to the shaken mixture, then repeat the aggressive shaking for another 30 seconds or so. Strain the newly chilled mixture into a small wineglass. To garnish, grate fresh nutmeg over the top of the cocktail to your liking. Cheers.
