Jameson Recipe

Cocktail

1. 1

   Prepare glass

   Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice water while you mix the cocktail. Set aside.

2. 2

   Dry shake (if using egg white)

   In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 oz Jameson, 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 2 dashes Angostura bitters and 1/2 egg white. Seal and shake vigorously without ice for 10–15 seconds to emulsify and build a froth.

3. 3

   Shake with ice

   Add 1 cup of ice to the shaker. Seal and shake vigorously for another 12–15 seconds until the shaker is cold to the touch and the liquid is well chilled.

4. 4

   Prepare glass (finish)

   Dump the ice water from the chilled glass and quickly strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe or a rocks glass over fresh ice if you prefer it on the rocks.

5. 5

   Garnish and serve

   Express a lemon twist over the drink by holding it skin-side down above the glass and giving it a quick squeeze to release oils, then rub the rim with the twist and drop it into the drink. Serve immediately.

6. 6

   Without egg white (alternative)

   If you prefer to skip the egg white, combine 2 oz Jameson, 0.5 oz lemon juice, 0.5 oz simple syrup and 2 dashes bitters with ice and shake until chilled. Strain and garnish as above.
