Method
Cocktail
- 1
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).
- 2
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.
- 3
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.
- 4
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
- 5
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.
- 6
Optionally garnish with a candied orange slice or maraschino cherry for a sweeter accent. Serve immediately.
