Cocktail

Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare ingredients

    Juice fresh limes and grapefruit. Measure rum, juices, curaçao, and simple syrup. If using egg white, separate and reserve half an egg white (about 0.5 of one).

  2. 2

    Dry shake (if using egg white)

    Add the rum, fresh lime juice, grapefruit juice, simple syrup, orange curaçao, bitters, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 12–15 seconds to emulsify and build a frothy texture.

  3. 3

    Wet shake

    Open the shaker, add ice cubes, reseal, and shake hard for another 10–12 seconds until the outside of the shaker is very cold (this chills and slightly dilutes the drink).

  4. 4

    Strain and serve

    Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or nick & nora glass (or a rocks glass over a large ice cube if preferred) using a Hawthorne strainer and a fine mesh strainer to remove ice shards and egg white solids.

  5. 5

    Garnish and finish

    Express a grapefruit twist or lime wheel over the drink to release oils, then place it on the rim or float on top. Optionally add an extra dash of Angostura bitters on the foam for aroma and visual contrast.
