Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 1 Egg White; 15 ml Simple Syrup; 15 ml Angostura Bitters; 60 ml Madeira

A silky, shaken drink of Madeira and egg white, lightly sweetened with simple syrup. A generous measure of Angostura gives it a spiced, bitter backbone. Created by Frederic Yarm at Loyal Nine in 2016.

Frederic Yarm created this winter Flip at Loyal Nine in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2016. It builds on Jacob Grier's PX Flip but uses Malmsey Madeira instead of Pedro Ximenez sherry for a less sweet result, and maple syrup was added after Misty Kalkofen's Fort Washington Flip. It began as an off-menu drink and reached the menu at Livestock Tavern in Honolulu in late 2017.
