1
Prepare glass
Place a large ice cube or ice sphere into a chilled old-fashioned or rocks glass and set aside.
2
Combine ingredients
In a cocktail shaker add bourbon, simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and if using, the egg white and bitters.
3
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If you added egg white, shake the mixture vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
4
Shake with ice
Add 6 pieces of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled (the shaker will become frosty).
5
Strain and serve
Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass over the large ice cube. If you didn't use egg white, a single fine strain is sufficient.
6
Garnish
Express the oils from a lemon twist over the drink by holding the twist over the glass and pinching so the oils spray onto the surface, then drop the twist into the glass.
