Flip-Dogs and Loggerheads...

[gizamo]

Modern Flip recipe...

Dark beer (dunkles is good, but any dark, malty beer. Stouts are out, IPA's don't work, think nut-browns and the like).

A healthy dollop of mollasses

A tot of rum.

Put all of this in a stout ceramic cup, with about 2 inches of room at the top.

Insert one, red-hot flip-dog and stir... :wink:

Fireplace pokers used to be called loggerheads; flip is a drink made by scalding a concoction in a stone mug with a red-hot poker.

And to add to the confusion...Here in the wester foothills of Maine, the red hot poker used to make a frothing drink was called a Hot Totty... :grin:

Anyone got a good hot buttered rum drink recipe using one? :blah:
