Method

Cocktail Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Cocktail

    In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz of Tom Cat Gin, 1 oz of honey syrup, and 1 oz of fresh squeezed lemon juice. Fill the shaker with ice.

  2. 2

    Shake

    Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well chilled.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Strain the mixture into a chilled coupe glass.

Honey Foam Preparation

  1. 4

    Prepare Honey Syrup

    In a small saucepan, combine 2 tbs of honey and 2 tbs of water. Heat over low until the honey is dissolved and the mixture is well combined. Allow to cool.

  2. 5

    Make the Foam

    In a mixing bowl, add 1 large egg white and the cooled honey syrup. Use an electric mixer to whip the mixture on high speed until soft peaks form, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. 6

    Top the Cocktail

    Spoon the honey foam over the cocktail in the coupe glass, creating a fluffy layer on top.
