Egg-cellent Cocktails: Shake Things Up with These Recipes

Are you ready to take your cocktail game to the next level? Look no further! Adding a raw egg to your drink can give it a unique twist, but first, let’s address the elephant in the room: safety. Raw Egg Safety 101

Unpasteurized raw eggs can contain harmful bacteria like Salmonella, and relying on the alcohol in your drink to kill them is not a foolproof plan. The solution? Use pasteurized eggs, which have been treated with heat to eliminate dangerous bacteria. You can find them at your local grocery store.

Now, Let’s Get Shaking!

Here are 10 egg-straordinary recipes to try:

1. Hardcore Eggnog

Ditch the store-bought eggnog and try our intense, boozy version. Mix bourbon, rum, and brandy with raw eggs and let it age in the fridge for a mellow, yet intensely delicious drink.

2. Golden Fizz

Tired of the same old gin and juice? Enter the golden fizz, a refreshing twist that requires some serious shaking skills to get the egg to blend in seamlessly.

3. Pisco Sour

Pisco, a clear spirit from Peru, is quickly becoming a popular cocktail base. The citrus flavors and egg white foam of a pisco sour make it a perfect addition to any fancy brunch.

4. Coffee Cocktail

This classic after-dinner drink, revived by Dale DeGroff, looks like milky coffee but doesn’t contain a single bean. It tastes similar to a White Russian, minus the cream.

5. Ramos Gin Fizz

Looking for an aromatic fizz recipe to add to your repertoire? This light, gin-based cocktail gets its magic from orange flower water.

6. Clover Club

This pink-hued drink gets its color from grenadine syrup, which you can easily make at home. It’s a refreshing twist on the classic cocktail.

7. Tom and Jerry

Unlike most egg-based cocktails, this one is served warm, making it a perfect winter nightcap. It’s a cross between a Hot Toddy and an eggnog with milk instead of cream.

8. Flip

Don’t flip out over how good this frothy creation is! With a long history dating back to 17th century England, you can make a traditional heated flip or opt for the chilled version.

9. Round Robin

Absinthe and orange bitters balance each other perfectly, topped with brandy and a light egg white froth. It’s a unique twist on the classic cocktail.

10. Prairie Oyster

Historically enjoyed as a hangover cure, this shot contains an unmixed raw egg, vodka, and a bunch of seasonings you’d typically find in a Bloody Mary.
