Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare
Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice water and set aside.
- 2
If using egg white: add egg white to a cocktail shaker (no ice) along with the bourbon, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup, maraschino liqueur, and bitters. Perform a dry shake (shake vigorously without ice) for 15–20 seconds to emulsify and build foam.
- 3
Add ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker and shake again vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.
- 4
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. Strain the cocktail through a fine mesh or Hawthorne strainer into the chilled coupe or an old-fashioned glass over a large ice cube if preferred on the rocks.
Garnish
- 5
Express the oils of a lemon twist over the surface of the cocktail by holding the twist skin-side down and giving it a quick pinch. Rub the twist around the rim and drop it into the drink.
- 6
Finish by skewering a maraschino cherry (or place it directly) and resting it on the rim or floating atop the foam.
