Love Boat For Two Recipe

Prepare glassware

Chill two coupe glasses or two chilled highball glasses by filling with ice water while you assemble the cocktail, about 3–5 minutes. Empty before pouring.

Dry shake (if using egg white)

If using egg white for a silky foam, add egg white, white rum, elderflower liqueur, fresh lime juice, fresh grapefruit juice, passion fruit puree, simple syrup, and grenadine into a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

Wet shake

Add a generous scoop of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Add the remaining cocktail ingredients if you didn't include them earlier (or proceed if already in shaker). Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold and the mixture is well chilled.

Strain and finish

Double-strain the contents into the chilled glasses (or divide between two glasses) to remove ice shards and any pulp. Top each glass with about 1 oz (total 2 oz) club soda split between them to add effervescence. If desired, add 1–2 drops of Angostura bitters over the foam to create aromatic interest and a pretty contrast pattern.

Garnish and serve

Float an edible flower and a lime wheel or a thin grapefruit wheel on each drink. Serve immediately to enjoy the aroma and foam. Communicate that this recipe yields two romantic cocktails.
