Method
Cocktail
- 1
Dry shake (if using egg white)
If using egg white, add gin, elderflower liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, blue curaçao, and egg white to a cocktail shaker without ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
- 2
Wet shake
Add ice to the shaker (about 1 cup). Shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is well chilled and slightly frosty.
- 3
Strain
Double-strain the mixture into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a fine mesh strainer to ensure a smooth texture and to remove any ice shards or egg white solids.
Garnish & Finish
- 4
If using dry ice for theatrical effect: using tongs place a small dry-ice nugget into the glass AFTER the cocktail is served and ensure guests are instructed not to ingest dry ice. Allow the smoky moon effect to drain away before drinking. If not using dry ice, sprinkle a small pinch of edible silver stars atop the foam or place a lime wheel on the rim. Serve immediately.
