Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare and measure

Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass by filling it with ice and set aside. Measure the whisky or bourbon, lemon juice, simple syrup, green chartreuse, and the egg white into a cocktail shaker (or mixing tin).

2

Dry shake

Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 20–30 seconds. The goal is to emulsify the egg white and create a thick, frothy texture.

3

Wet shake

Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Shake again vigorously for 12–15 seconds to chill and properly dilute the cocktail.

4

Strain

Dump the ice from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass using a fine mesh strainer on top of the cocktail strainer to remove small ice shards and any coagulated egg bits, producing a silky foam head.

5

Finish and garnish

Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters directly onto the foam. Using a toothpick or cocktail stick, gently drag the bitters to create a small pattern if desired. Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, rub the rim with the twist, then drop it into the glass as garnish.

6

Serve

Serve immediately while the foam is fresh. Advise guests that the drink contains raw egg white; use pasteurized eggs if preferred.
