Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the ingredients

Gather all the ingredients: bourbon, cold-pressed lemon juice, egg white, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and lemon slice.

2. Juicing the lemons

Using a cold-press juicer, extract juice from fresh lemons until you have 3 oz of lemon juice. Strain if necessary to remove pulp.

3. Make the simple syrup

If you don't have simple syrup, combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then cool before using.

Mixing

4. Combine ingredients

In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz of bourbon, 3 oz of cold-pressed lemon juice, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and the egg white.

5. Dry shake

Shake the mixture vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.

6. Wet shake

Add ice to the shaker and shake again for another 15 seconds until well chilled.

Serving

7. Strain and serve

Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. The foam should form a nice layer on top.

8. Garnish

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the foam and place a lemon slice on the rim of the glass for garnish.
