Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare and dry shake (if using egg white)

    If using egg white for a silky texture, add the egg white to a cocktail shaker first along with gin, green Chartreuse, lime juice, simple syrup, and crème de menthe. Dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

  2. 2

    Shake with ice

    Add the ice (about 6 large cubes) to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosted. If you did not use egg white, simply combine ingredients with ice and shake for the same time.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass for a neat presentation. If you prefer the drink on the rocks, fill a rocks glass with fresh ice (about 3 cubes) and strain over the ice instead.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 4

    Express the oils of a lime twist over the drink by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick pinch above the surface, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the glass or place a lime wheel on the rim.

  2. 5

    Optionally slap the mint sprig between your palms to release aroma and tuck it into the glass as an additional aromatic garnish. Serve immediately.
