Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare and combine

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and set aside. In a cocktail shaker, add the vodka (VKA Tuscan or Belvedere), fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, cherry/maraschino liqueur, and the egg white (or aquafaba).

2

Dry shake

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds. This dry shake emulsifies the egg white and creates a silky foam.

3

Wet shake

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker (about 4–6 large cubes). Shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the exterior is frosty.

4

Prepare glass

Discard the ice from the chilled coupe. Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the coupe to remove small ice shards and any coagulated bits of egg white.

5

Finish and garnish

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on the foam. Using a toothpick or cocktail pick, gently swirl the bitters to create a simple decorative pattern if desired. Garnish with a lemon twist expressed over the drink and dropped in, plus a Luxardo or brandied cherry perched on a pick.

6

Serve immediately while foam is fresh. Estimated single-serving cocktail yields one cocktail.
