Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
Dry shake (if using egg white)
In a cocktail shaker, combine gin (2 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.75 oz), creme de violette (0.5 oz), orange liqueur (0.25 oz), simple syrup (0.25 oz), and egg white (0.5 oz). Do not add ice. Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–20 seconds to emulsify and create a silky foam.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add 4 pieces of ice, reseal and shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds to chill and dilute the drink to the proper temperature and texture.
Strain
Discard the ice (if using ice water) from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any coagulated egg white bits, yielding a smooth, frothy surface with a delicate pale blue-lavender color.
Garnish & serve
Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, rub it on the rim and drop it in, or add a maraschino cherry on a pick. Serve immediately.
