Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare and dry-shake

Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling with ice or placing in the freezer. In a cocktail shaker combine 2 oz Michter's US*1 Bourbon, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.75 oz simple syrup, and 1 fresh egg white. Do a dry shake (no ice) vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create a froth.

2

Wet shake

Add a large handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Seal and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.

3

Double strain and serve

Discard ice from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe (use the shaker strainer and a fine-mesh strainer) to remove small ice shards and ensure a silky texture and smooth foam head.

4

Garnish and finish

Carefully add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the foam. Use a toothpick or cocktail stick to create a simple pattern if desired. Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, run it around the rim, and drop it into the cocktail as garnish.

5

Serve immediately. Estimated single serving: one cocktail.
