APRICOT FLIP - a Creamy Cognac Cocktail!

The Flip is a category of cocktails that incorporate a whole egg as one of it's ingredients. The term 'Flip' was first used in the late 1600s to describe a mixture of beer, rum, and sugar, heated with a red-hot iron. It has since evolved into a drink that includes a fortified wine or spirit shaken with a whole egg and sweetened with sugar - typically garnished with grated nutmeg. The Apricot Flip splits the liquor component into both cognac and Apricot brandy liqueur.
