Zero Senone Recipe

Preparation & Pouring

1. 1

   Chill glassware

   Place six 1-oz shot glasses in the freezer or fill briefly with ice water while you prepare the mixture so the shots are served cold.

2. 2

   Combine base ingredients

   In a cocktail shaker add 3 oz vodka, 1.5 oz blue curaçao, 1.5 oz limoncello, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice and 0.5 oz simple syrup.

3. 3

   Add optional richness

   If using egg white for a silkier texture, add 0.5 unit egg white to the shaker now. This will add a slight froth to each shot.

4. 4

   Dry shake

   Seal the shaker and dry-shake (no ice) vigorously for 10–15 seconds to emulsify the egg white and integrate the citrus and liqueurs.

5. 5

   Shake with ice

   Add a generous handful of ice to the shaker and shake vigorously for 10–12 seconds until the shaker is very cold and slightly frosted.

6. 6

   Strain and top with sparkle

   Remove the shot glasses from the freezer. Double-strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer (or the shaker strainer) into a measuring cup or pitcher, then pour approximately 1 oz into each of the six chilled shot glasses. If using, gently top each shot with about 0.125 oz (total 0.75 oz) sparkling water to add a touch of effervescence — do this carefully so you keep the small head from overflowing.

7. 7

   Garnish and serve

   Twist a small piece of lemon zest over each shot to release oils, then drop the twist into the shot glass as garnish. Serve immediately while cold.
