Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
