“The original tavern flip of rum and beer gradually evolved,” writes Martin Cate in Smuggler’s Cove. “Egg was added, then beer dropped altogether from the mix.” This is a Smuggler’s Cove adaptation of a classic, originally seen in How To Mix Drinks, or the Bon-Vivant’s Companion, that illustrates how flash blending whips up egg-based cocktails to frothy perfection.
