1
Prepare glass
Chill a coupe or martini glass by filling it with ice water while you mix the cocktail.
2
Dry shake (if using egg white)
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz gin, 0.5 oz blue curaçao, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 0.5 egg white (or 1/2 whole egg white). Close the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
3
Wet shake
Add 6 ice cubes to the shaker. Shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and well-chilled.
4
Strain
Dump the ice water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the glass using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine-mesh strainer to ensure a smooth texture and stable foam.
5
Finish
Float 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the foam. If desired, use a toothpick to gently swirl the bitters into a simple design.

6
Twist a lemon peel over the drink to express oils, then rim the twist around the glass and drop it in as garnish. Add an edible flower or a small mint sprig on the foam for visual appeal. Serve immediately.
