Cocktail Description

A forgotten classic reinvented with Caribbean complexity, the Spiced Rhum Flip brings together grassy rhum agricole and rich Jamaican rum in a velvety, warming embrace.

This luxurious cocktail balances the grassiness of Rhum Clément Canne Bleue with Appleton Estate's tropical fruit and oak notes, while allspice dram adds holiday baking spices and lime juice brings necessary brightness. The whole egg creates an impossibly silky texture that carries the flavors across your palate, with demerara syrup providing depth and a hint of molasses. Despite requiring a double shake technique (first without ice to properly emulsify the egg), this cocktail is surprisingly straightforward to prepare at home with just a bit of practice. Ideal for cool autumn evenings or as a sophisticated nightcap during winter months, the Spiced Rhum Flip makes a stunning impression at intimate gatherings. Its rich profile pairs beautifully with desserts featuring dark chocolate, caramel, or baked fruits, though it's equally delightful alongside a cheese board highlighting aged gouda or mild blue cheese.
