Method
Cocktail
Chill glass
Place a coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer or fill it with ice and cold water while you prepare the drink to ensure it is well chilled.
Dry shake
Add gin, creme de violette, fresh lemon 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 creates a rich foam.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add the ice (about 6 medium cubes), reseal, and shake vigorously for another 10–15 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and foamy.
Strain and serve
Dump the ice/water from your chilled glass if used. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and ensure a silky texture.
Garnish
Finish with a lemon twist expressed over the surface or drop a maraschino cherry into the foam. Serve immediately.
