Spirit/Wine + sweetener + egg, shaken well and served hot or cold, garnished with nutmeg

A flip is an egg based drink and is made by combining a spirit and/or wine with a sweetening ingredient and a whole egg. It can either be served hot or cold. Traditionally, if served hot, a red-hod fireplace poker (or "loggerhead") would be plunged into the liquids (before adding the egg), which would cause it to froth violently (or "flip"), the egg and sugar would be added and this entire mixture would be poured back and forth between two (heat safe!) vessels. Eventually, it became appropriate to serve the drink cold, in which case there would be no need for the loggerhead, and instead it would be shaken well with ice to mix. It would then be commonly garnished with nutmeg.
