Rude Bull Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare ingredients

   If using fresh espresso, pull a 0.5 oz shot and let it cool to room temperature. If using egg white, separate a large egg and measure a half egg white (about 0.5 unit). Measure out all liquids.

2. 2

   Dry shake (if using egg white)

   Place rye whiskey, coffee liqueur, cooled espresso, coffee syrup, lemon juice, bitters, and egg white into a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

3. 3

   Wet shake

   Add a handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker feels very cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled.

4. 4

   Strain

   Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass (use a hawthorne and fine mesh strainer if available). If you prefer the drink on the rocks, strain over fresh large ice in a rocks glass.

5. 5

   Finish

   Express the orange (or lemon) twist over the surface of the drink by holding it skin-side down and giving it a sharp twist to release oils, then rub the rim and drop it in. Optionally float 3 coffee beans on the foam or surface as garnish.
