Method
Rim & Prep
- 1
Prepare glass
Run a cut lime wedge around the rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass. Dip the rim into a shallow plate of coarse salt to coat the edge. Set the glass aside.
Mixing
- 2
Dry shake
Add tequila, triple sec, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and the egg white to a cocktail shaker (no ice). Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This 'dry shake' emulsifies the egg white and builds a frothy structure that yields the signature fluff.
- 3
Wet shake
Open the shaker and add a generous handful of ice (approximately 1 cup) to chill and dilute the mix. Seal and shake again vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker feels very cold.
- 4
Fine strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using a hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer (this removes ice shards and yields a smooth foam). The egg white should form a stable, fluffy foam head on top.
Garnish & Finish
- 5
Garnish immediately with a lime wheel or a light dusting of lime zest on the foam. Serve right away so the foam remains voluminous.
