Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare and chill glass

If serving up (no ice), place a coupe or cocktail glass in the freezer for several minutes. If serving on the rocks, fill the serving glass with fresh ice and set aside.

2

Dry shake (if using egg white)

Add the gin, fresh lemon juice, Crème de Violette, St. Germain, simple syrup, and egg white (if using) to a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build a smooth foam.

3

Wet shake

Add ice to the shaker (about 4 large cubes). Seal and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker becomes frosty and the mixture is well chilled.

4

Strain and serve

If serving up: double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe to remove small ice shards and any solids. If serving on the rocks: discard the ice from the serving glass, add 3 fresh ice cubes, and strain the cocktail over the ice.

5

Garnish and finish

Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, run it around the rim and drop it in, or float an edible violet on the foam. Serve immediately.

6

Notes: Adjust the Crème de Violette (0.25–0.75 oz) to taste — more will emphasize floral violet notes and purple color. Omit the egg white for a clearer, quicker version; use pasteurized egg white if preferred for safety.
