Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

1

Dry shake (if using egg white)

Add bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, amaro, orange curaçao, bitters, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Do not add ice yet. Seal and shake vigorously for 15 seconds to emulsify and create foam.

2

Wet shake

Add ice to the shaker (about 4-6 large cubes). Shake again vigorously for 12-15 seconds until well-chilled and the outside of the shaker is frosty.

3

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into a chilled old-fashioned glass over a single large ice cube. If you skipped the egg white, simply combine ingredients with ice and shake, then strain once.

Garnish & Serve

4

Express the oils of the orange twist over the drink by holding twist over the glass and giving it a sharp bend so oils spray onto the surface. Rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the glass.

5

Optionally float a thin lemon wheel on top of the foam or lean it against the inside of the glass. Serve immediately.
