Historical Background
Porto Flip belongs to the historic family of flip cocktails. The drink was first recorded in written form by Jerry Thomas in 1862 in The Bartender's Guide, where a similar preparation appeared under the name Coffee Cocktail because of its coffee-like appearance. Its exact place and creator of origin are unknown. The modern Porto Flip is recognized by the International Bartenders Association.
