Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare glass

    Chill a rocks glass by filling it with ice and setting it aside while you mix the cocktail.

  2. 2

    Dry shake

    If using the egg white: add 2 oz Wild Turkey 101, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup and 0.5 egg white into a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to build froth and emulsify.

  3. 3

    Wet shake

    Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker, reseal, and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the exterior is frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink properly.

  4. 4

    Add bitters and strain

    Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters into the shaker. Double-strain the contents through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled rocks glass filled with fresh serving ice (about 1 cup). Double-straining removes ice shards and any remaining egg white solids for a silky finish.

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Express the oils of a lemon twist over the top of the drink by holding the twist over the glass and bending it to release oils, then rub the peel around the rim and drop it into the glass as garnish.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve immediately. Sip slowly to appreciate the bold, spicy character of Wild Turkey 101 balanced with bright lemon, gentle sweetness, and the rounded mouthfeel from the egg white.
