This cock­tail is a jack-of-all-trades kind of bev­er­age. Well suited for fancy, cel­e­bra­tory occa­sions or more casual, laid-back soirées. The clas­sic Flip cock­tail is well-matched with the sweet and tangy pick­led cher­ries- that have also been enhanced by the pun­gent and pep­pery extra vir­gin olive oil. 

A Flip is a cock­tail that con­tains a com­bi­na­tion of egg (for froth and creami­ness), sugar (for sweet­ness and bal­ance), and either a spirit, liqueur, or for­ti­fied wine (for the boozy com­po­nent). They share a mixol­ogy fam­ily tree with Egg Nogs, but, while Egg Nogs con­tain milk or cream, Flips do not. They are actu­ally an enjoy­able warm-weather or cold-weather sip­per, served chilled and shaken with ice. This rum flip recipe finds a bal­ance between the rich and sweet by uti­liz­ing pick­led cher­ries and cit­rus juice for a uniquely refresh­ing and sur­pris­ingly creamy cock­tail.

Directions

  • Place red wine vine­gar, sweet white wine, brown sugar, cin­na­mon, gin­ger, and nut­meg in a small saucepan, and whisk to com­bine.
  • Bring to a low sim­mer over medium heat, whisk­ing fre­quently. Simmer just until the brown sugar has dis­solved, about 5 min­utes.
  • Place the olive oil and cher­ries in a seal­able con­tainer. Once the sugar has dis­solved, remove from the heat, and pour over the EVOO and cher­ries, stir to com­bine.

  • To make one cock­tail, fill a shaker with ice. Pour 3oz rum, 2oz pick­led cherry juice (stir to com­bine the pick­les to dis­trib­ute the ingre­di­ents), a light squeeze of fresh lemon and lime juice, and 1 egg white. 
  • Vigorously shake and strain into a coupe or mar­tini glass. Garnish the cock­tail with pick­led cher­ries, mint, and cit­rus peel before serv­ing.
