Notes

Despite having what might read as a big bruiser of a flavor profile, the Chandelier Flip is “actually pretty light on its feet,” says William Elliot, bar director at Maison Premiere. Inspired by the classic Coffee Cocktail (which contains no coffee, oddly), the drink combines two grape-based bottles for a layered mouthfeel, while a whole egg boosts the richness factor. Herbal, silky, and topped with aromatic Angostura whipped cream, this drink is ideal for holiday brunch.
