Origins of the Cognac Flip
The origins of the Cognac Flip can be traced back to the early 19th century when cocktails were becoming increasingly popular in Europe and North America. The term "flip" was used to describe a category of mixed drinks that included eggs as an ingredient, giving them a frothy texture.
Cognac, which is a type of brandy made from grapes grown in the Cognac region of France, became a popular base spirit for flips due to its rich flavor profile and smooth finish. The addition of sugar, spices, and sometimes cream or milk helped balance out the strong alcohol content while adding complexity to the drink.
Over time, variations on the classic flip recipe emerged, with bartenders experimenting with different ingredients and techniques to create unique twists on this timeless cocktail. Today, you can find countless versions of the Cognac Flip at bars around the world, each offering its own take on this beloved libation.
