Build & Shake
Prepare
If using egg white, separate one egg and reserve the white. Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill with ice to chill.
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add 2 oz bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.25 oz fresh orange juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.25 tsp Luxardo bitters (or a small barspoon of Luxardo cherry syrup), 2 dashes orange bitters, and the egg white (if using).
Dry shake
If using egg white, dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well diluted.
Strain & Serve
If serving up: double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled coupe to remove ice shards and ensure a silky texture. If serving on the rocks (Old Fashioned style): fill a rocks glass with one large ice cube and double-strain the cocktail over the ice.
Garnish with an expressed orange twist (pinch the peel over the drink to release oils, then rub the rim and drop it in) and a Luxardo cherry on a pick. Optionally add one tiny additional drop of Luxardo syrup on the top of the foam for aroma and an accent.
Serve immediately and enjoy.
