Cocktail

2 oz Glenfiddich 12 Year Single Malt Scotch Whisky3/4 oz Fresh lemon juice1/2 oz Simple syrup (1:1 sugar:sugar water)1/2 oz Egg white (optional, for texture)2 dashes Angostura bitters1 cup Ice

Garnish

1 piece Lemon twist0 to taste Optional: few drops of aromatic bitters on foam

Method

Cocktail

Prepare

If using an egg white, separate half an egg (about 0.5 oz) and place it in the shaker. If you prefer not to use raw egg, you can substitute 0.5 oz aquafaba.

Dry shake

Combine Glenfiddich 12 (2 oz), fresh lemon juice (0.75 oz), simple syrup (0.5 oz), and the egg white (0.5 oz) into a cocktail shaker WITHOUT ice. Seal and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and develop a silky foam.

Wet shake

Add ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker. Seal and shake again vigorously for 10–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold and the outside frosts.

Strain

Double-strain the cocktail into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass using a Hawthorne and fine-mesh strainer to remove ice shards and any coagulated proteins. Aim for a smooth, frothy surface.

Finish

Garnish with a lemon twist: express the oils over the foam and run the twist around the rim, then drop it on top. Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters either on the foam or in the drink; if on the foam, you may create a decorative pattern with a toothpick.

Serving

Serve immediately. The drink is best consumed within a few minutes to enjoy the contrast of bright citrus, light sweetness, silky foam, and the signature Glenfiddich orchard fruit and honey notes.
