This cocktail, invented by the English, is thought to be about 150 years old. Despite its British roots, the drink is usually found in France these days. It has a very unique flavor, is fun to make, and has an enjoyable taste.

The ingredients you will need for this particular drink are:

• 1/4 oz Brandy
• 1 1/2 oz Ruby Port
• 3/4 oz Cream
• 1/2 tsp Powdered Sugar
• 1 Egg Yolk
• 1 Pinch Nutmeg
• Ice
• Cocktail glass
• Cocktail shaker
• Give yourself about 15 minutes to make the drink.

If you do not have a proper bar, the best place to make this cocktail is in your kitchen. This will help ensure you have everything you need close by. Clear off your counter, and place all of your ingredients in the space where you wish to begin. Then take your cocktail shaker, put your ice inside then follow with the rest of the ingredients except for the nutmeg. Shake well, then pour into your cocktail glass.

Next, you may want to add a little style to your drink. You can do this by sprinkling a touch of nutmeg onto the top. Once you are finished, you may chill the cocktail in your refrigerator until you are ready to drink or serve. Typically, the porto flip cocktail is served as an after-dinner drink, or a digestif, to help you relax and digest your meal. Enjoy!

If you like a sweeter taste, you may wish to add 2 tablespoons of cane sugar. If you want the drink to be lighter, use less cream, or use just a portion of an egg yolk, (though sometimes it can be difficult to accurately measure the yolk). Here is an alternative recipe:

• 2 drops of Brandy
• 4 cl red Porto
• 1 egg yolk
• 2 tablespoons cane sugar
