Goodbye Earl Recipe

Measure and combine

Add bourbon, peach liqueur, fresh lemon juice, fresh lime juice, maple syrup and angostura bitters into a cocktail shaker.

Dry shake (if using egg white)

If using the egg white, add it now and shake vigorously without ice for 15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

Wet shake

Add ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Secure the lid and shake vigorously for 12–18 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the outside is frosty.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass using a fine mesh strainer (if you used egg white) or use a single Hawthorne strainer into an ice-filled rocks glass if you prefer it on the rocks.

Finish

Express a lemon twist over the drink (if using) or float a peach slice on top. Add a light sprinkle of grated nutmeg or cinnamon if desired. Serve immediately.

Thread the peach slice on a pick or rest it on the rim. For the lemon twist, cut a 1/2-inch wide strip of lemon peel, twist it over the drink to release oils and drop it in.
