Instructions
- To Make the Earl Grey Syrup: Mix together the teas, spices, zest and sugar in a small bowl until well mixed. Pour the boiling water over the mixture and stir well until all the sugar dissolves. Allow the syrup to cool, bottle and refrigerate. For each Earl Grey Citrus Flip Place the whiskey, blood orange juice, Earl Grey Syrup, egg and cream in a shaker (without ice). Shake vigorously for at least 2 minutes. Fill the shaker with ice and shake again, vigorously, for another 90 seconds. Strain into a large coup-style glass that holds about 6 ounces. Garnish with a little freshly grated nutmeg.
