 Welcome back to Drinks Made Easy because cocktails don't have to be difficult. We've missed you but Mike and I have had to stay socially distanced because COVID and we hope you guys have remained safe as well. But we wanted to bring you a couple of drinks for the holiday and today we're taking a look at a variation of a very old style of drink and that is the flip. Today we're using a chocolate stout to make this Christmas chocolate stout flip. If you like eggnogs but want something a little bit lighter or especially if you've never tried a flip or a flip variation before, this is a drink to check out. And without any further ado, let's make a cocktail. To make the Christmas chocolate stout flip, you'll start with one ounce of dark rum, half an ounce of simple syrup, just equal part sugar and water, and one whole egg. Now you could shake this in a shaker tin but it's a lot easier to just use a little coffee hand mixer. If you don't have a little hand mixer, you could always use a mixer with the whisk attachment or a whisk on its own. This part wouldn't really be much of an issue in a shaker tin but when you start adding your beer, unless it's really flat, you could start to have issues with the carbonation. And we're just going to froth this up, get a nice little head as it all mixes, and then we're just going to pour this into a glass with a little bit of ice. Grate some fresh nutmeg on top. And easy as that, you have the Christmas chocolate stout flip. If you're a fan of egg nugs and egg-based drinks and you want to try something else that's a little bit new out, and especially if you enjoy chocolate beers, check out this drink. One of the key things to remember in this is pick a chocolate stout or porter or beer of your choice with a chocolate nature that you really enjoy and has a touch of sweetness to it. If it's bitter, you could always even that out with a little bit more simple syrup, but on the whole what you're going to want is something that you just enjoy in all of the ingredients. Check it out and let us know what you think and please continue to be safe out there because COVID unfortunately is not going away for a while. Cheers from Drinks Made Easy.
