Smoky hot cross flip
Ingredients
- 1 whole raw organic egg
- 40ml peated whiskey
- 20ml pale dry Sherry
- 25ml hot cross syrup (recipe here)

Instructions
Use an egg topper to open the egg. Pour out the contents and reserve. Rinse the eggshell, allow to dry, then spray-paint it gold.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the egg with all the other ingredients. Top up with ice and shake hard for 15 – 20 seconds. Strain through a fine strainer into a small, chilled wine glass.
Garnish by placing the gold eggshell on top, filled with the mini speckled chocolate eggs. Serve.
