1
Prepare and chill glass
Place a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the cocktail to chill it.
2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker, add 2 oz Disaronno, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, and 0.5 oz egg white if using. The egg white will create a silky foam and a smoother mouthfeel.
3
Dry shake
Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and yields a better foam. If not using egg white, you can skip the dry shake and proceed with ice.
4
Wet shake
Add ice cubes to the shaker (about 6 medium cubes). Seal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.
5
Strain
Discard the ice or water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass filled with fresh ice (if you prefer it on the rocks) using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and create a smooth texture.

6
Express the oils from a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick bend over the drink. Rub the rim with the peel and drop the twist onto the drink or hang it on the glass. Optionally, add a maraschino cherry as a colorful accent.
