Method

Cocktail

1

Prepare glass

Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice and cold water; set aside while you mix the drink.

2

Dry shake (if using egg white)

In a cocktail shaker add gin, blue curaçao, lemon juice, simple syrup, maraschino liqueur and egg white (if using). Seal and vigorously dry-shake (no ice) for 20–30 seconds to emulsify and build a silky foam.

3

Wet shake

Add the ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Seal and shake vigorously for 10–15 seconds until well chilled and the shaker is frosty.

4

Strain

Dump the ice and water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any large foam bubbles.

5

Optional finish

If you prefer a lighter, slightly effervescent Blue Moon Light, gently float 1 oz club soda on top by pouring over the back of a bar spoon.

6

Garnish

Express the lemon twist over the drink to release oils, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the cocktail as garnish.

7

Serve immediately while cold. Note: If not using egg white, skip the dry shake and perform a single vigorous wet shake for 15 seconds to sufficiently chill and dilute the cocktail.
