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