Method
Cocktail
Combine ingredients
Add gin, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, maraschino liqueur, simple syrup, and the egg white (if using) into a cocktail shaker without ice.
Dry shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and incorporate air, producing a silky foam.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add a large handful of ice, reseal and shake hard for another 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and slightly frosted.
Double strain
Double strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Boston strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any solids, preserving a smooth texture.
Finish & Garnish
Add 2 dashes of bitters on top of the foam. Using a toothpick or cocktail pick, gently swirl the bitters into a simple decorative pattern if desired.
Garnish with an edible flower or a thin lemon twist laid on the foam. Serve immediately.
