Raw Eggs in Beer

[jglazer75]

Tom Bullock's "The Ideal Bartender", written in 1917 and one of the primary sources for cocktail recipes (check out the introduction by George Herbert Walker, Grandfather of George HW Bush) lists quite a few "alcohol and egg" recipes, called "flips", including this one:

Ale Flip:

fill an ale glass nearly full

1 teaspoonful bar sugar (simple syrup)

break in 1 whole egg; grate a little nutmeg on top and serve the drink with a spoon alongside the glass.

Doesn't Paul Newman drink an egg beer for breakfast in "The Verdict?"
