Method
Cocktail
Prepare and combine
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and set aside. In a cocktail shaker add the gin, blue curaçao, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, orange bitters, and egg white (if using).
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If you included the egg white, close the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 12–15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker (about 3/4 full) and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well-chilled and the shaker feels cold to the touch.
Strain
Discard the ice from the chilled glass. Double-strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a fine strainer to remove ice shards and any large foam lumps, yielding a silky, vividly blue cocktail.
Garnish & Serve
Express a lemon twist over the surface of the drink to release oils, then run it around the rim and drop it into the cocktail or place it on the rim.
Optionally garnish with a candied orange slice or maraschino cherry for a sweeter accent. Serve immediately.
