Tips

Put real effort into the first shake without ice; that's what whips the whole egg into the drink, then shake again with ice and fine-strain so it pours smooth.

History

The Negroni Flip is a Negroni made in the flip style, with no single credited creator on record. It keeps the equal-parts gin, Campari, and sweet vermouth but shakes them with a whole egg and a touch of sugar syrup for a rich, frothy texture. The technique nods to the flip, a drink family dating back centuries that by the 19th century had settled on spirit, sugar, and a whole egg; modern bartenders revived that format and applied it to the Negroni as craft cocktail menus rediscovered egg-based drinks.
