Method
Cocktail
Dry shake
Add gin, creme de violette, maraschino, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and the egg white to a cocktail shaker (no ice). Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and build a silky foam.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add the ice cubes, reseal and shake hard for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the outside is frosty. This chills and dilutes the drink and aerates the foam.
Strain and serve
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass (if used). Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove small ice shards and ensure a smooth foam.
Garnish
Express a lemon twist over the foam to release oils, rub the peel on the rim if desired, and drop it into the drink. Alternatively, drop a maraschino cherry into the foam for a classic look.
