Blue Moon Cocktail

Method

Blue Moon Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail, or place it in the freezer for 5–10 minutes.

2

Dry shake (emulsify egg white)

Add gin, blue curaçao, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white to a cocktail shaker. Do not add ice yet. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and create a frothy texture.

3

Wet shake (chill and dilute)

Open the shaker, add the ice (about 4 large cubes), reseal, and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the outside of the shaker is cold and you see good condensation. This chills and lightly dilutes the cocktail.

4

Serve

Dump the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled coupe or martini glass to remove any small ice shards and ensure a silky foam. If desired, add one dash of angostura or orange bitters over the foam for aroma.

5

Garnish

Express the oils of a lemon twist over the foam and drop it in, or float a thin lemon wheel on the foam. Serve immediately.
