Today’s Daily Candy has a great feature on beer cocktails, including an Averna Stout Flip from me:
2 oz Averna
1 oz stout
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 egg
Stir in the whole egg, shake vigorously with ice, and double-strain into a wine glass. Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg. For the beer, go for a stout with a smooth, rich mouthfeel. St. Peter’s cream stout is perfect here; Samuel Smith’s oatmeal stout is also good.
