Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Dry shake (if using egg white)

    Add rye whiskey, dry vermouth, Campari, elderflower liqueur, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, Angostura bitters, and the egg white to a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

  2. 2

    Wet shake

    Open the shaker, add the large ice cubes, reseal, and shake hard for 15–20 seconds until the shaker is well-chilled and slightly frosted on the outside.

  3. 3

    Strain

    Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and any solids. If not using egg white, simply shake once with ice for 20 seconds and strain.

Garnish & Finish

  1. 4

    Express the lemon peel over the surface of the cocktail by holding it skin-side down and giving it a firm squeeze to release the oils. Run the peel around the glass rim and place as a twist over the drink (or float a thin lemon wheel/orange twist). Serve immediately.
