Stone's Ginger Flip

Flip is a centuries-old half-forgotten mixed drink, similar to eggnog.  It may be had hot or cold and is usually made with either fortified wine or spirits.  Stone's Ginger Wine is neither, but works equally well.  Since it's lower in alcohol than cream sherry, I've increased the amount of wine in the recipe.

Ingredients:
1 egg
1 tbsp brandy
1 tsp powdered sugar
4 oz Stone's Ginger Wine
1 oz half-and-half
nutmeg, mace, allspice, or cinnamon

Directions:
Shake the egg and brandy together vigorously, until homogenized.  Add the half-and-half, Stone's Ginger Wine, a bit of ice (if serving cold) and powdered sugar.  Shake.  Strain into the glass of your choice.  Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg, mace, allspice, or cinnamon.

Stone's ginger wine (and Crabbie's, though not, please, cheap supermarket imitations) proved surprisingly popular when I asked around; they're the kind of...

Their wages, with benefits, paid for a reasonable middle-class lifestyle if they managed it carefully. Throw in the job security they were encouraged to expect, and they had the confidence to make sacrifices and investments that contributed to the economy for the long term, like college education for the kids, an addition on the house, a new baby.
