Dating back to apparently the 1600's, a flip was originally always a hot drink. They would have been made with Brandy or Rum (for strength), Beer (for volume), and a sweetener (for flavor). This would be very quickly heated by plunging a red-hot "Loggerhead" (poker heated in the fire) into it, and then poured back and forth between two pitchers to mix it well. It is suspected that the name "Flip" comes from the fairly aggressive frothing that occurs when the hot poker is used.

			Jerry Thomas includes recipes for five Flips in his 1862 Bar-tenders guide, all of them hot, with a note that: <ref>[https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/1862-Bar-Tender-s-Guide-price-1-50-by-Jerry-Thomas/60/ Flip, Negas and Shrub] The Bar-Tenders Guide by Jerry Thomas (via EUVS Library)</ref>

			By 1874, we see the appearance of recipes for "cold" flips in E. A. Simmons "The American Bar-Tender or The Art and Mystery of Mixing Drinks" where he lists recipes for four different flips (Brandy, Whiskey, Gin, and Egg or Sherry Flip). The recipe for the Brandy Flip is specifically listed, while the rest just say essentially "...made the same as the Brandy Flip...". <ref>[https://euvs-vintage-cocktail-books.cld.bz/Vintage-Cocktail-Books-US/1874-The-American-Bar-Tender-or-The-Art-and-Mystery-of-Mixing-Drinks-by-E-A-Simmons/8/ Brandy Flip] "The American Bar-Tender or The Art and Mystery of Mixing Drinks" by E.
