How to make it
Beat pasteurized whole eggs, then incorporate sugar and salt. Mix in rum, cream and milk and chill under the bar’s food-safety procedure. Stir before portioning; the source gives a batch, not a single serving.
Glass: Small punch glasses. Ice: None. Garnish: Sprinkle of nutmeg.
Flavor & balance
- Sweet (dominant): Sweeteners, fruit or sweetened modifiers round the attack and add weight; product sugar varies.
- Salty / Briny (supporting): Brine or savory seasoning contributes salt; strength varies substantially by product.
Assess sweetness, bitterness and tactile drying separately. These flavor expectations are based on recipe structure, not measured tasting scores. Actual products, ice and dilution will change the result.
Preparation & batching
Service complexity: high. Batchability: spirit components only.
- Measure and label the chosen product specification; chill appropriate glassware.
- Use pasteurized egg ingredients and follow the approved cold-holding and allergen procedure; alcohol is not a sanitizing step.
Finish aeration and texture to order; do not infer a safe storage period from the alcohol content. Workload is an editorial assessment; no labor timing or storage validation is claimed.
Ingredient checks: Egg: present; use pasteurized ingredients under the bar’s approved procedure. Milk: check dairy ingredients and all chosen products. These checks are not a complete allergen declaration for every brand or garnish.

Recipe notes & variations
The ingredient list is the entire published batch. Yield is not specified reliably; choose and record the serving size after measuring the finished batch. Cups and pints are interpreted as US liquid measures for liquid ingredients only.
For a Black Flannel variation, change one component at a time and record the selected product, proof, sweetener concentration and dilution. Compare it with this reference before naming or publishing the variation.
