Cocktail

Method

Prep

1

Chill a coupe or rocks glass in the freezer or fill it with ice water to cool while you prepare the cocktail.

2

If using egg white, separate the white from the yolk and have it ready. Use fresh, properly refrigerated eggs.

Mixing

3

Dry shake (if using egg white)

In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Jim Beam bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters, and 1/2 egg white. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.

4

Wet shake

Open the shaker, add about 1 cup of ice, and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and the shaker feels cold to the touch.

Finish & Serve

5

Discard the ice or water from the chilled serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled glass (use a Hawthorne or Julep strainer plus fine strainer) to remove ice shards and any coagulated egg bits.

6

Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink, then drop the twist in as garnish (or float a lemon wheel on the surface).

7

Serve immediately. If you omitted the egg white, follow only the 'Wet shake' step and proceed to strain.
