I woke up this morning in the mood for something sweet, like pancakes or a waffle. I also needed my standard eggs. The problem is that I would have to get dressed and go outside. You all know how I feel about outside. What to do? The Sherry Flip was in the answer to everything.

From Dale DeGroff’s Essential Cocktails, with slight modification:

2 oz Sherry (I used Lustau)
1/2 oz simply syrup (DeGroff calls for 1 oz. I dropped it to 1/2 oz because I want to actually taste the Sherry)
1 medium sized egg (If you’re going to use extra large or jumbo, use only half the egg. Don’t say I didn’t warn you)
Fresh ground nutmeg

Shake like a madman. Seriously. Much more than a regular cocktail. Shaking is so serious to this, I called Señor Misterioso to oversee the shaking.

Shu’s rating: Yum. Smooth and creamy. Essential part of a nutritious and balanced breakfast.
