But I think it might be more properly called a whiskey flip. It was made in the blender with frozen OJ and lemon juice and ice and an egg (hence flip) and whatever whiskey or whisky he had on hand and some crushed ice. Sink a maraschino cherry in that in a champagne flute and your holiday morning was a happy place!
