Method
Cocktail
Prepare shaker
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling with ice and setting aside. Add vodka, fresh orange juice, cranberry juice, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker.
Dry shake
Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and incorporate air for a silky texture.
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker (about 6 medium cubes). Seal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and frosty.
Garnish & Finish
Express the kaffir lime leaf over the surface of the cocktail: hold the leaf by the stem above the drink and clap or fold it sharply so its essential oils spray onto the drink. Rub the leaf briefly around the rim if desired to increase aroma.
Float the kaffir leaf on the surface or skewer it with the orange wheel on a cocktail pick and rest it across the glass. Serve immediately.
