The British name for eggnog — the creamy, egg-based festive drink typically spiked with brandy, rum, or whisky. While Americans reach for eggnog at Christmas, Brits have traditionally called the same drink egg flip, a name that emphasises the technique of flipping or beating the egg into froth. Less common today than it once was, but still heard among older generations and in vintage recipe books.
Gran handed everyone a glass of egg flip the moment they walked through the door on Christmas Eve.
