Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water; set aside. If using an egg white, separate the white from the yolk and have it ready.

2

Add the gin, creme de violette, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) into a cocktail shaker.

3

Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam. If not using egg white, skip the dry shake.

4

Add ice to the shaker (about 4 ice cubes) and shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and properly dilute the cocktail.

5

Discard the ice and water from the chilled glass. Fine strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or martini glass using a Hawthorne or julep strainer and, if desired, a fine mesh strainer to catch small ice shards and egg white solids.

6

Garnish with a lemon twist expressed over the drink (run the twist around the rim and drop it in) or place a maraschino cherry on a cocktail pick and rest it across the glass.

7

Serve immediately. Estimated volume per serving is approximately 3–3.5 oz.
