Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare and combine
If using egg white, add 0.5 egg white to the shaker first. Pour 2 oz tequila, 0.5 oz dark crème de cacao, 0.5 oz amaro, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 0.25 oz simple syrup, and 2 dashes orange bitters into a cocktail shaker.
- 2
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If you added egg white, dry-shake (no ice) vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
- 3
Shake with ice
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Shake hard for 12–20 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and the mixture is well-chilled.
- 4
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and any larger foam bits.
Garnish & Finish
- 5
Express the oils from a lime twist over the surface of the drink by pinching the peel skin-side down above the glass, then run the peel around the rim and drop it into the drink.
- 6
Optionally, grate a tiny amount (about 1 tsp) of cocoa or add a few chocolate shavings over the foam for an aromatic finish.
