Cocktail Preparation
Prepare the Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: brandy, simple syrup, prickly pear purée, egg white, lime juice, and fresh mint.
Shake the Cocktail
In a cocktail shaker, combine the brandy, simple syrup, prickly pear purée, egg white, and lime juice. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white.
Add Ice and Shake Again
Add ice to the cocktail shaker and shake again for another 15-20 seconds until well chilled.
Strain into Glass
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish
Garnish with fresh mint leaves. Optionally, you can slap the mint leaves between your hands to release their aroma before adding them to the drink.
