Averna Stout Flip

Adapted from Cocktails on Tap by Jacob Grier

Beer cocktail guru Jacob Grier, author of Cocktails on Tap, calls the Averna Stout Flip one of his favorite creations. Working with the idea that dark beer likes dark spirits, Grier developed the drink while guest bartending at a Prohibition-themed spot in Portland. This boozy milkshake-like concoction works best with heavier stouts (think something like Young’s Double Chocolate Stout).
