Egg yolk

• Other
• Non-alcoholic

The yolk is the yellow part of the egg. In cocktails it brings body, a creamy, velvety texture, a touch of sweetness and a gentle eggy flavour. It is essential to flips and nogs, the richest drinks in the egg family, and to so-called golden fizzes. It needs a vigorous shake, often first without ice, so that it binds well with the other ingredients, as in the Porto Flip and the Parson's Special.

Used in 2 cocktails.
