Welcome back to Drinks Tube, my name is Simone and today we are making a Whisky Flip. Now,
flips is one of the first form ever of cocktails, this drink has evolved through the centuries,
sailors used to drink these 300, 400 years ago, flips with beer, egg, little bit of sugar,
bash it together, used to be cold, used to be hot, was amazing. We are drinking a piece
of history. It's not just a cocktail, it's a piece of history! Let's do it. We need the
main spirit and in this case it's scotch whisky, beautiful. Some Spanish sherry wine, Pedro
Ximenez, nice and sweet, tastes of raisins and grapes, it's fantastic. Some homemade
vanilla syrup, fresh egg and some spice, we're going to grate some fresh nutmeg on the top,
to give a beautiful aroma. First ingredient is scotch whisky, 50ml in our shot glass,
all the way up and straight into the shaker, 50ml of this. And then we have 25ml of Pedro
Ximenez sherry, the Pedro Ximenez is kind of a grape, very sweet, very toffee, buttery,
with notes of raisin, it's fantastic. This will put everything together, I love Spanish
sherry wine. Ole! Then we have some vanilla syrup, homemade, very simple to do, equal
parts of sugar, water and big pieces of vanilla, you see these little dots floating? This is
the heart of the vanilla. 10mls of our beautiful and fresh homemade vanilla syrup, the last
thing in it is the egg, the whole egg inside. Obviously not the shell, I'm not crazy! We
crack it here and put inside the whole egg. Now, we need to beat a little just to break
the yolk. Let's get some ice. We're going to fill up the metallic part of the shaker
with ice, more ice in here, you see it's almost full. And then I will simply place inside
our lovely mixture of the flip. You see if I close it now there's quite a big space so
I'm gonna put in a couple more ice cubes and I'm simply going to close it up and seal it and I'm gonna shake it.
You need to shake it hard, you need to whisk and combine all
the ingredients with the egg yolk, with the egg white, all together. I have a nice short
glass, I'll fill it up with ice, do it like this, perfect, I'm gonna strain it over.
Now spice, why? Because it enhances the notes of the scotch whisky, it enhances the fruitiness
of the Spanish sherry wine, a little bit of nutmeg, you think this is enough? It's not
enough for me because we have to make it special! We need to make it shine, we need to put some
bling bling. That's why in my pocket I have a magic ingredient for you, it's edible leaf
of gold. And I'm gonna simply shred it over with a little tooth pick. Little flakes shred
all over on the surface and you can see it floating, it's amazing.
Mmm OK, you get the maltiness of the whisky, sherry is grape, raisin, kind of fruity tutti. You don't taste
the egg, it doesn't give you any things of eggy because it gets shaken so well and
interacts with the alcohol of the whisky and just changes the flavour, it's amazing guys.
You are drinking a piece of history, but this time with the gold on the top. Because we
are sexy people, that's why. Oh guys you have to make this! If you want to see more cocktails
