Method
For the cocktail
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If using egg white, add the egg white, gin, creme de violette, maraschino liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Seal and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the contents are well chilled and slightly frothy.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and create a smooth texture.
Garnish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and giving it a quick snap, then rub the peel along the rim and drop it into the cocktail. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry on a pick and rest it on the rim or drop it into the drink.
