History of the Flip
A popular drink in both English and American taverns, the flip has been around since the late 1600s and was known in colonial America as "a sort of Sailors Drink".
It was principally a mulled ale that in addition to the spirits contained sugar, spices, and fresh eggs, each tavern you visited would have had their own unique recipe.
Early Recipe as written in The Cook's Oracle (1822):
To make a quart of Flip:— Put the Ale on the fire to warm, — and beat up three or four Eggs with four ounces of moist Sugar, a teaspoonful of grated Nutmeg or Ginger, and a quartern of good old Rum or Brandy.
When the Ale is near to boil, put it into one pitcher, and the Rum and Eggs, &c. into another;— turn it from one pitcher to another till it is as smooth as Cream.
