Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Juice fresh lemon and measure whiskey and simple syrup. If using egg white, separate one egg and reserve the white (about 0.5 egg white for a slightly lighter foam). Have Angostura bitters and ice ready.

  2. 2

    Dry shake

    Add bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white (if using), and 2 dashes Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and build foam.

  3. 3

    Wet shake

    Open the shaker, add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup). Seal and shake again hard for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and the outside of the shaker is frosty.

  4. 4

    Strain

    Fine-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass (if serving over ice, double-strain into a rocks glass filled with fresh ice). Use a fine mesh strainer to remove tiny ice chips and any coagulated egg bits for a silky texture.

  5. 5

    Finish

    Express a lemon twist over the drink to release oils, then drop it in or place a lemon wheel on the rim. Optionally sprinkle a light grating of fresh nutmeg or add a couple more dashes of Angostura bitters atop the foam for aroma and visual contrast.
