| 1 drink | sherry — sherry | modifier |
| 1 pony | cream — cream | other |
| 1 barspoon | sugar — sugar | sweetener |
- Use a mixing glass.
- Add the fresh eggs, sugar, sherry, Port wine, Benedictine, and cream.
- Shake, strain in two stem glasses, and serve.
Ice: A full of fine ice
- Nose
- Benedictine herbs, Port dark fruit, and cream rise together.
- Palate
- The dual fortified-wine base (sherry + Port) gives a layered depth that a single-spirit flip cannot match. Benedictine adds a herbal sweetness that bridges the two wines, and the double egg and cream make this the richest flip in the Didier repertoire.
- Finish
- The finish is rich, herbal, and warming with a lingering cream sweetness.
- Summary
- A two-spirit, two-glass flip for shared after-dinner service.
