Cocktail Base

2 oz bourbon

1/2 oz dark rum (aged)

3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

3/4 oz simple syrup (1:1)

1/2 tsp orange curaçao

3 dashes Angostura bitters

Funnel House Foam

1 each egg white (or aquafaba for vegan)

1/2 tsp powdered sugar

1/8 tsp Watkins vanilla extract

Garnish & Finish

1 each lemon twist

1 tsp grated nutmeg

1 each large ice cube

Method

Cocktail Base

Measure and combine

Add the bourbon, dark rum, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, orange curaçao and Angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker (without ice).

Dry shake

Seal the shaker and dry-shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to begin emulsifying the citrus and spirits and integrate flavors.

Funnel House Foam

Add egg white

Open the shaker and add the egg white (or aquafaba), powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the mixture already in the shaker.

Double shake

Dry-shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds to build foam, then add ice and shake hard for another 12–15 seconds to chill and further aerate the foam.

Strain and set foam

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled rocks glass over a single large ice cube. Use a small spoon to coax a generous layer of the foam onto the top of the drink; the foam should sit thickly like a 'funnel' cap.

Garnish & Finish

Finish the drink

Express the lemon twist over the foam to release oils, then run the twist around the glass rim and drop it onto the foam. Lightly grate fresh nutmeg over the foam for aroma and visual contrast. Serve immediately.
