Crashout Recipe

Add ingredients

Measure and pour 2 oz vodka, 0.5 oz triple sec, 0.5 oz fresh lime juice, 1 oz fresh grapefruit juice, and 0.5 tsp agave syrup into a cocktail shaker.

Add egg white

Add 0.5 oz egg white (or 0.5 oz aquafaba for a vegan version) into the shaker. This will create a silky foam and integrate the citrus flavors.

Dry shake

Without ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and build foam.

Wet shake

Add a generous handful of ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the exterior is frosted.

Prep glass

Run a grapefruit twist around the rim of a chilled coupe or rocks glass, then lightly dip the rim into 0.25 tsp coarse salt to create a subtle salty edge.

Double strain and serve

Double-strain the cocktail into the prepared glass using a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and produce a silky texture and a stable foam top.

Add bitters and garnish

Carefully drop 3 dashes of Angostura bitters onto the foam and, using a toothpick, gently drag through the drops to create a simple pattern if desired. Finish with a grapefruit twist or a thin wheel perched on the glass.

Taste and adjust

Taste a small sip; if more sweetness is desired, stir in an additional 1/4 tsp agave. If more brightness is wanted, add 1/4 tsp fresh lime juice and lightly stir.
