Flips were originally hot drinks made with egg and a variety of liquors and wines. They were warmed up by means of a loggerhead, an iron tool with a long handle and bulbous end that could be heated and plunged, like a poker, into the drink. Today, however, flips are generally served cold. Historically, they have been most often served in the morning or at bedtime, because of their soothing character.

I served this at a heritage brunch (5 couples bring something from their heritage) and made it an Irish flip using Jameson. Everyone (even non-whiskey drinkers) loved it. It's like a much lighter version of eggnog.
