1
Dry shake
Add the blended Scotch, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, egg white, and three dashes of Angostura bitters to a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 15–20 seconds to emulsify the egg white and create foam.
2
Wet shake
Open the shaker and add a large handful of ice. Resecure and shake hard for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the exterior is frosty.
3
Strain
Double-strain the cocktail through a fine-mesh strainer into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass to remove ice shards and ensure a silky texture.

4
Carefully drop two dashes of Angostura bitters onto the foam and, using a toothpick or skewer, drag a small swirl or simple pattern for visual appeal. Finish with a lemon twist or a thin lemon wheel perched on the rim.
