After the L'Aiglon of Chicago, Andrea wanted to end the evening with a Flip. When I spotted a recipe from Rob Roy's Zane Harris in Food & Wine: Cocktails 2011, I figured that his Aster Family Sour could easily be converted into a delicious Flip by including the egg yolk in the recipe. The end result fell somewhere between Scott Holiday's Cynar Fizz and Corey Bunnewith and Ben Sandrof's Cynar Flip and into the realm of deliciousness. Indeed, the Flip's Angostura Bitters garnish contributed an allspice aroma. Next, its creamy and sweet lemon and orgeat sip complemented the Cynar's herbalness on the swallow.
