Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling it with ice water while you build the cocktail. If using egg white, separate the white from the yolk and have it ready.

2

Dry shake

Add bourbon (2 oz), dry vermouth (1/2 oz), raspberry liqueur (1/2 oz), fresh lemon juice (1/2 oz), simple syrup (1/4 oz), Angostura bitters (2 dashes), and egg white (1/2 of one egg white) into a cocktail shaker without ice. Dry shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

3

Wet shake

Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker and shake again vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold (this chills and dilutes the drink).

4

Strain

Dump the ice water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail through a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer into the chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and produce a silky texture.

5

Garnish and serve

Gently place two fresh raspberries on a cocktail pick or drop them into the drink and express a lemon twist over the surface to release oils, then drop the twist in or rim the glass edge with it. Serve immediately.
