Method
Cocktail
Prepare glass
Chill a rocks glass by filling it with ice and set aside while you mix the cocktail.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add vodka (2 oz), fresh lime juice (0.75 oz), simple syrup (0.5 oz), green chartreuse (0.25 oz) and egg white if using (0.5 oz).
Dry shake
If using egg white, first dry-shake (no ice) vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
Wet shake
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frosty on the outside of the shaker.
Prepare serving glass
Discard the ice from the chilled rocks glass and place one large ice cube in the glass.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into the rocks glass over the large ice cube using a Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer to catch any small ice chips and egg white solids. The drink should sit about 3/4 full over the cube.
Finish
Float a very small drop (about 1–2 drops, ~0.02 oz) of absinthe or a couple drops of aromatic bitters on the foam or top of the drink to add aroma. Alternatively, use no float for a cleaner profile.
Garnish & Serve
Garnish with a lime wheel or twist on the rim or floated on the ice. Serve immediately.
