Cocktail Base

Method

Cocktail Base

1

Combine liquids

Add vodka, white crème de cacao, elderflower liqueur, freshly squeezed lemon juice and simple syrup to a cocktail shaker (without ice).

2

Add richness and foam agent

Add the egg white (or aquafaba) and the optional light cream to the shaker. Add the two drops of rosewater if using.

Dry Shake

3

Shake without ice

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds (a 'dry shake') to emulsify the egg white/aquafaba and build a stable foam.

Cold Shake & Strain

4

Add ice and shake

Open the shaker, add 1 cup of ice, re-seal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold to the touch.

5

Double strain into glass

Using the fine mesh strainer and the shaker’s strainer, pour the cocktail into a chilled martini coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and ensure a silky texture.

Finish & Garnish

6

Add pearlescent sheen (optional)

If using pearlescent luster dust, lightly brush a pinch on top of the foam or mix a tiny amount with a drop of water and dot gently onto the foam for a subtle shimmer (do not overdo; it's for appearance only).

7

Garnish and serve

Float a dehydrated lemon wheel or place a thin lemon twist across the foam and drop a luxardo or cocktail cherry beside it. Add a single micro edible flower or small mint sprig if desired. Serve immediately.
