Notes

Pro Tips

• To achieve a silky, frothy consistency, perform a “dry shake” first by shaking the ingredients without ice before adding the ice for a second shake.
• Use fresh, high-quality egg whites for the smoothest finish and the most impressive foam.
• Chilling your glass in advance will keep the cocktail crisp and refreshing.
