Get drunk with a high-protein New England holiday drink

Versions of “flip cocktails “ like this have been popular New England holiday drinks for more than 200 years. They’re made from brandy, egg and syrup and garnished with grated nutmeg. Nutmeg has been a favorite New England spice since colonial days, especially over the Christmas holidays. Consider that Connecticut is called The Nutmeg State.
