Porto Flip

IBA

A descendant of the 17th-century flip tradition, which saw sailors and tavern-goers warming spiced, egg-enriched ale by the fireside, the Porto Flip brings that same richness into a more refined register. Ruby Port lends dark fruit and fortified sweetness, brandy adds backbone, and egg yolk binds everything into a velvety, almost dessert-like drink with considerable depth.
