Method
Cocktail Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Shaker
In a cocktail shaker, combine the bourbon or rye whiskey, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white.

Dry Shake
Shake the mixture vigorously without ice for about 15 seconds. This helps emulsify the egg white, creating a frothy texture.

Shake with Ice
Add ice to the shaker and shake again for an additional 15-20 seconds until the mixture is well chilled.

Strain the Cocktail
Strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or rocks glass. Use a fine mesh strainer if desired to ensure a smooth texture.

Add two dashes of Angostura bitters on top of the drink for added complexity.
