Build the base and emulsify

Dry shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds without ice to emulsify the egg white and create a foamy texture.

Shake with ice
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for 10–12 seconds until the mixture is well-chilled and foamy.

Strain and serve

Garnish and finish
Garnish with a cucumber wheel on the rim and a lemon twist. If desired, lightly dust a pinch of fennel pollen over the foam to accent aroma.
