Cocktail
Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare and chill
Chill a coupe or cocktail glass by filling it with ice water and set aside while you mix the drink.
- 2
Dry shake
Add the light rum, gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and egg white to a cocktail shaker. Without adding ice, seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15–20 seconds. This 'dry shake' emulsifies the egg white and creates a frothy texture.
- 3
Wet shake
Open the shaker and add the ice. Seal and shake again vigorously for 12–15 seconds until the shaker is very cold to the touch and the mixture is well chilled and slightly diluted.
- 4
Double strain and serve
Discard the ice water from the chilled glass. Double-strain the cocktail through a fine mesh strainer into the chilled coupe to remove small ice shards and any larger foam lumps, producing a silky surface.
- 5
Finish and garnish
Dash the Angostura bitters on top of the foam (2 dashes). Using a toothpick or cocktail pick, gently drag the bitters to create a small pattern if desired. Garnish with a lemon twist or a thin lemon wheel on the rim.

Serve
Serve immediately. The cocktail should present a creamy foam layer, bright citrus aromas, and a balanced spirit-forward base.
