freudian flip

1 oz Cognac (Pierre Ferrand 1840)
1 oz Calvados (Morin Selection)
1/2 oz Benedictine
1/4 tsp Absinthe (Kübler)
2 dash Angostura Bitters
1 Whole Egg

Shake one round without ice and one round with ice, strain into a glass (single old fashioned), and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.Two Thursdays ago, I was scanning the Kindred Cocktails database when I came across an egg drink that sounded like a lovely way to end the evening. The name Freudian Flip reminded me of my All of Freud's Beautiful Women, but this one was created at the Cave in Naples, Florida. Urban Dictionary defines the term as "Like a Freudian slip, but instead flipping someone off. When your hand just happens to have the middle finger up" (such as scratching your shoulder with your middle finger in response to a disrespectful comment). Once prepared, the Freudian Flip showcased nutmeg, apple, and anise aromas to the nose. Next, a creamy and caramel sip gave way to apple, Cognac, and minty-anise herbal flavors on the swallow.
