Ingredients
- whiskey - 2 oz (or any preferred liquor)
- fresh lemon juice - 1 oz
- simple syrup - 1 oz (homemade or store-bought)
- egg white - 1 (optional, can be omitted for vegan preference)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a shaker, combine 2 oz of whiskey, 1 oz of fresh lemon juice, 1 oz of simple syrup, and an egg white (optional).
- First Shake: Shake the mixture without ice to incorporate the egg white and make it fluffy.
- Add Ice and Shake Again: Add hand-flavored ice to the shaker and shake again until the tin is very cold.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the cocktail into a chilled glass. It should have a creamy, milkshake-like appearance.
- Garnish: Garnish with a lemon peel, rubbing the oils on the rim and dropping it in the drink, or use angostura bitters to create a decorative pattern on the foam.
