Method
Cocktail
Muddle raspberries
Place 6 fresh raspberries in a shaker. Add the simple syrup. Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently muddle the raspberries until they are broken down and have released their juice and color (about 20–30 seconds).
Add spirits and citrus
Add 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey and 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice to the shaker with the muddled raspberries.
Dry shake
Seal the shaker and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds. This 'dry shake' helps emulsify the egg white and incorporate air, producing a foamy texture.
Wet shake
Open the shaker, add 4 large ice cubes, re-seal, and shake vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and well-chilled.
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass filled with about 1 cup of fresh ice (or serve up without ice if preferred). Use a fine mesh strainer in addition to the cocktail strainer to catch raspberry seeds and solids for a smooth drink.
Garnish
If desired, add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters on the foam and use a toothpick to create a small design. Garnish with a fresh raspberry or a lemon twist on the rim.
Serve
Serve immediately. Sip and enjoy the balance of bright raspberry and citrus against the warmth of the whiskey.
