Method

Main Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare and Dry Shake

    If using egg white, add 0.5 egg white to a cocktail shaker. Add 2 oz blended Scotch, 0.5 oz golden rum, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz honey syrup, 0.25 oz yellow Chartreuse, and 2 dashes angostura bitters to the shaker.

  2. 2

    Dry Shake (egg white only)

    Without ice, firmly dry-shake the ingredients for 10–15 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and creates a silky foam (skip this step if not using egg white).

  3. 3

    Shake with Ice

    Add ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Place a large clear ice sphere or large cube in a chilled old-fashioned glass. Double-strain the cocktail over the ice using a Hawthorne and fine mesh strainer (or just a fine strainer) to remove small ice shards and ensure a smooth pour.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 5

    Express and Twist

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the drink by holding the twist about 2 inches above the glass and gently pinching it so that the oils spray onto the cocktail. Run the twist around the glass rim and drop it in.

  2. 6

    Add Gold Flake (optional)

    For a shimmering 'halo' effect, lightly sprinkle a very small pinch (about 1/16–1/8 tsp) of edible gold flake onto the top of the foam or directly onto the spirit surface. Use sparingly — a little goes a long way.

  3. 7

    Final Serve

    Serve immediately with a short stirring spoon on the side. Sip slowly to enjoy the layered warmth of Scotch, the sweetness of honey and rum, and the herbal lift from yellow Chartreuse.
