# Sherry Flip

Oxidatively aged sherry, a whole egg, and restrained sugar become a silky low-proof drink, with fresh nutmeg supplying the final aromatic layer.

Strength: 14% ABV before dilution

## Ingredients

- 60 ml [Oloroso sherry](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/oloroso-sherry.md)
- 15 ml [Simple syrup](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/simple-syrup.md) — Use a one-to-one syrup by weight.
- 1 whole [Egg](https://stirred.fyi/ingredients/egg.md) — Use a very fresh whole egg; pasteurised egg is a prudent alternative for vulnerable guests.

## Glassware

Wine glass

## Garnish

- Nutmeg — Freshly grate over the drink.

## Method

1. Dry-shake all ingredients without ice to emulsify the egg.
2. Add cubed ice and shake hard until thoroughly chilled.
3. Fine-strain into a chilled small wine glass.
