Ingredients
2
ounces
gin
1
ounce
lemon juice
(freshly squeezed)
½
ounce
simple syrup
1
egg white
(optional)
3
drops
angostura bitters
(optional)
ice cubes
Equipment
Citrus Juicer
Cocktail Shaker
Cocktail Strainer
Eye Dropper
Jigger
Instructions
Combine gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white in a shaker.
Shake vigorously until the egg white emulsifies - approximately 20 seconds. (Skip this step if you omit the egg white.)
Add several ice cubes and shake until the liquids are mixed and chilled - approximately 20 seconds.
Strain into a coupe glass.
Use an eye dropper to place three drops on top of the cocktail. (Skip this step if you omit the Angostura bitters.)
Artfully swirl the three angostura drops with a toothpick. (Skip this step if you omit the angostura bitters.)
Pro Tips
You can use another glass instead of a coupe glass.
The egg white can be omitted if you're a vegan or uncomfortable with ingesting raw eggs. You can alternatively replace the egg white with aquafaba.
The aromatic bitters can be omitted. We recommend garnishing this cocktail with a maraschino cherry or lemon twist if you omit the aromatic bitters.
