Method
Cocktail Base (per 1 serving)
Measure & Combine
Measure 2 oz gin, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup into a cocktail shaker.
Add Egg White
Add 0.5 oz fresh egg white to the shaker to create a silky texture and foam on top.
Modifier & Aromatics
Dry Shake
Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This emulsifies the egg white and builds a thick foam.
Wet Shake
Open the shaker, add a generous amount of ice (about 1 cup), reseal and shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the exterior of the shaker is frosty and well-chilled.
Garnish & Serve
Finish with Bitters
Carefully drop 2 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the foam. Optionally use a toothpick to create a simple pattern by dragging through the dashes.
Garnish
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the drink, rub it on the rim if desired, and place the twist or a thin wheel on the foam as garnish.
