Method

Cocktail

  1. 1

    Prepare

    Chill a coupe or rocks glass by filling it with ice water and set aside.

  2. 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. 3

    Add ice (about 1 cup) to the shaker and shake again vigorously for 12–15 seconds until well chilled and slightly frothy.

  4. 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

  1. 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.

  2. 6

    Finish by skewering a maraschino cherry (or place it directly) and resting it on the rim or floating atop the foam.
